This is the summary of day 13. The 3 full chapters, with the practical actions, are in the course inside the app. In the app: 9 min read across 3 chapters
Two weeks about the baby's sleep, and day 13 is about the adults' sleep, because the math does not add up otherwise: a well-cared-for baby needs caregivers who function, and nobody functions for months on an endless night shift. Truly dividing the nights means treating them as the household's job, with a system, not as one person's fate.
The day also covers sleep deprivation as a real physical state, the micro-strategies that add up, the signs that exhaustion has become something deeper, and guilt, the most universal and least spoken feeling among caregivers.
