5 things I do as a dad of a 10-month-old baby girl that help me get enough sleep
As a parent, I understand that sleep quality is about more than just the amount of time you spend in bed. Despite our 10-month-old daughter generally being a great sleeper, she does have her moments where she wakes up multiple times at night.
While this can be frustrating for some parents, I don’t mind it too much. I just want to be there for her and ensure she’s okay.
Babies go through so much growth and development in a short amount of time, and it can lead to disrupted sleep. The bursts of energy and short sleep cycles are tough on everyone, especially when you have a busy schedule the next day. As the CEO and founder of a marketing consultancy with international clients, my days can start early or end late, depending on my workload.
I value sleep, even though I don’t always love it.
I believe that life is too short to waste any of it. Once I understood that getting up at night with my daughter is just a part of the experience, and she needs my help, things got so much easier.
