Do you have kids? Does your schedule accomodate parenting and chore duties? I feel that after my kid was born, I lost the possibility of having a good night of sleep. And my kid is already older, so I don't have the issue of waking up many times during the night anymore. Even so, just surviving has been difficult.

I feel that after my kid was born, I lost the possibility of having a good night of sleep.

That resonates with me.

Hang in there. The sleep and free time stuff does get better.

I've been leading a fully remote team for most of the last decade, and I lately think a lot about modeling behaviors for my team, such as stepping away for 20 minutes to take a walk, or run some dishes or laundry.
