Detrimental Effects
As can be seen in the video that Melanie took, having a child makes it challenging to experience extended stretches of deep sleep that are free from interruption. When you don’t get enough sleep, you’ll feel even more exhausted when you get up in the morning. It’s true that you’ll be able to make it through those first few months without sleep, but you shouldn’t minimize the impact that lack of sleep may have on your overall health, both physically and mentally.

Dealing With The Situation
There is some helpful information available on the National Health Service of the United Kingdom’s website. When your child is napping throughout the day, you have the option of taking a nap yourself. You may also try getting to bed earlier than usual and seeing if it improves your mood when you get up. Also, remember Melanie’s suggestions for dealing with sleep deprivation while making your own plans. On Instagram, she said, “these days are drastic yet short-lived.”
