It's hard to believe, I know, but in two years, those 5 weeks will look like they did not have any influence at all in your long term productivity or what you could have achieved. After some time, you will realize that the perceived less amount of time allows you to do more, and more efficiently. than people that actually have all the time of the world in their hands. You maybe could learn a skill while the kid is sleeping; but the irregular patterns and not-so-long periods of quiet sleep would better be used to do stuff you necessarily need to do (bills, paperwork, household tasks, grocery shopping, little repairs, making place in the cupboards, perhaps installing some furniture, etc.). Usually given total undivided attention without rush to the baby leads to much easier and faster resolution; for example, when trying to feed, or sleep time, 30/55 minutes taking care that the kid feels well, that temperature is good (if it is to hot, for example, gently moving a towel), providing entertainment flying some toy and engaging them, quietly singing, etc. will lead to less time overall than trying to rush in 10 minutes and find yourself an hour later with a very tired baby that will sleep out of sheer exhaustion. Best of luck and think that 5 weeks will look like nothing in the future. Think that if you had removed one year of your education in the past, quite probably, things would not have been so different anyway.
