Does this sound like your house?
Nobody warns you how hard the broken nights hit. You are not alone, and you are not doing it wrong.
- I am so tired I forget what I walked into the room for.
- The baby finally sleeps, and I still cannot.
- I snap at the people I love, then feel awful.
- I cry over small things and I do not know why.
- Everyone says sleep when the baby sleeps. Nobody says how.
You do not need more willpower. You need a plan that works while you are exhausted. That is what this guide gives you.
