How did you manage to keep a functioning brain with a kid and 4 hours of sleep a night? Were you able to sustain this long term or was this more of how the worst of it was? Were those 6 hours completely uninterrupted (and eating at desk)?

I'm trying something similar (prioritize family) and the scheduling aspect has been really brutal.




I did take break in those hours. Honestly it was tough to survive on 4 hours of sleep during weekdays. I usually slept in a bit on Sundays.

I would also recommend not to do it this way. It was brutal.


It's tough but feels worth it - I never feel like I've missed out on anything with my daughter since I'm always around. I think if I can just structure my day better it'll all work out a lot better, just haven't figured out how yet!
