The Joy of Sleep Deprivation
One sleep-deprived mother Emily Barlett narrated her experiences in her blog Holistic Squid, and it seems she wasn’t such a fan of co-sleeping. As this snap of her happily awake child shows,co-sleeping took away all the joy of actually sleeping for Emily and her husband. She relented how, “Not only had attachment parenting led me down a path to crazed sleep deprivation and chronic back pain, but I spend most of those two years feeling guilty about my failures as a mother.” Luckily, they then started a new sleep schedule that suited them all in the end!

Sleeping With Your eyes Open
Sometimes you have to keep one eye open when sleeping with a child. That’s because even when your child has finally fallen asleep, some other children might just decide to play a prank on you! This is the case for one unlucky mum, and we had to look twice before we realized that’s not her real eye! The Reddit user posted this snap with the caption “My niece thought my mom needed this sticker while she was sleeping.” Anyway we definitely learnt a lesson here. Always sleep with one eye open!
