How do people function on this lack of sleep? How do people keep having children and keep losing sleep? Every time I don’t sleep for a night, I get stomach aches the next day, I’m irritable and an emotional wreck. I’m blessed that my babies aren’t usually bad babies but the few times we had hard nights makes me wonder how people do it. Do some people just function better than others without sleep?

I'm with you, OP. I think sleep is one of the things I miss most from pre-mom Era. (No regrets)
I wonder all the time, how is everyone else functioning??

I cosleep. But I guess my babies are good enough for that. That they'll sleep if I'm next to them. Especially if they're nursing at the same time.

I absolutely cannot function on less sleep. There was a period of time I was waking up twice a night to pump (long story) And I was not functional.

Who said I’m functioning? I’m grumpy and nauseous always and I hate it but apparently that’s my life. (I write at midnight after finally getting baby back to sleep when I’ve been up since 4am)
