Liverpool mum thought she would suffer for a few weeks after having her son, but the reality was much different
Is she depressed, or does she just need some rest? Nobody tells you exactly how bad sleep deprivation can get.
There seemed to be loads of tips and 'tricks' about getting your baby to sleep through the night. So much so, I honestly didn’t give it much thought.I certainly wasn’t prepared for the tumultuous nights ahead. Or the effect nine months of very little and broken sleep had on my ability to function as a parent, a partner and an employee.
Sometimes something would work. We’d see some sweet, sweet progress, swiftly followed by a soul crushing sleep regression. Or worse, a cold, or teething. It felt hopeless. It’s not just the lack of time spent sleeping, it's that the sleep you do get is poor quality. Sleeping in one or two hour snippets deprives you of REM sleep, which plays an important role in your emotional health, learning, and memory.
