Sleep deprivation is no joke - need advice

My son is 3 weeks old and I think I'm losing it. My wife and I have been tag teaming nights but I still feel like a zombie during the day at work. How long does this phase last? Does it get better? Also he seems to cluster feed in the evenings from like 6-10pm and I'm not sure if that's normal or if something is wrong. Any tips for surviving this?

The zombie stage is real but it does get better. With four kids I learned the hard way that you gotta prioritize sleep over other stuff when you can. Hang in there.

Three weeks in is brutal, dude. You're not losing it, you're just running on fumes. Try to catch sleep whenever you can, even 20 minute power naps help more than you'd think.
