Sleep deprivation is a common struggle new parents face, dramatically affecting their mental state. The constant cycle of waking and caring for a newborn takes a mental toll unlike anything else.
I couldn't help but feel like I was losing my mind while caring for my newborn, a small human fully reliant on me for all survival. This weight of responsibility was overwhelming.
The survey by The Lullaby Trust highlighted the harsh reality of sleep deprivation among parents, indicating that over half of them experience limited sleep due to their infants' erratic sleeping patterns.
Every time I caught a moment to rest, my baby seemed to sense it, opting to remain awake as if to mock my hope for rest, creating a cycle of exhaustion.
