Hello fellow tired parents. So I just wanted to ask if anyone else suffers pretty significantly with anxiety around their kids 'overnight activities'....
Yes! Absolutely. You're not alone. Our oldest didn't sleep longer than three hours at a stretch for two years. My wife did the "lay there for hours waiting to hear them cry" and hearing phantom cries. I did as well for a while.
At a certain point I just had to forgive myself and let myself sleep and just know that they will wake you up if they really need you. You'll hear them.
Also, try reading a boring or difficult to read book (like Moby Dick, although that's an interesting hard to read book). It has helped me get my mind off of things from the day, and it's strenuous enough that it makes my mind tired and lets me fall asleep.
Just got this on my 11 year account right after signing into my alt and deleting.
Finally made an account
