A test with 1 person isn't a real study either. And whether the brain is shrunken or not, the sleep disruption, the great increase of things to take care of, the constant distraction... definitely makes you less smart. But too late, you're permanently rewired into "parent mode" and would have it no other way.

Putting two and two together I got myself a pair of -30db fitted ear plugs and now I can work during the day just as effectively. Turned out I'd been doing me wrong for 20 years.
