Sleep deprivation is no joke, how are people surviving this?

3 weeks in and I think I've had maybe 12 hours of actual sleep. It's 2am and the baby has been up for the last hour screaming and neither of us can figure out what's wrong. My wife is crying, I'm angry at everything, and I just want to sleep for 24 hours straight. Does it get better or is this just life now for the next year?

Three weeks in and you're still standing, that's a win. It gets better, I promise. The screaming at 2am feels endless but one day you'll realize it's been a whole night of sleep.

The sleep deprivation is real and brutal but you're doing it. Lean on your partner, ask for help when you can, and know that every parent here has been exactly where you are right now.

Dude, 12 hours in 3 weeks sounds about right for those early days. You're in survival mode and that's completely normal. Hang in there, it changes fast.
