Father of two small children: no

• zwischenzug 8y ago
  Father of two here also, and I hear you! I think the point of this is to say that the negative effects on the body of lack of sleep on the body can't be reversed by the weekend catch up. That doesn't mean you don't feel better after that weekend lie in or catch-up nap! I have about 4 years of my life I can barely remember because it was work, on call, broken nights with babies, sleep, work, take turns to nap at weekends. Our second child was called Rachel because the only leisure time we had was taken to watch an episode of Friends every night before turning in and it worked on our subconscious. We had the energy to do nothing more (well, we obviously did one thing more... but I digress).
