On: Impacts of lack of sleep

[op00to]

I have kids. I am just going to be sleep deprived so my children don’t feel abandoned when they can’t sleep like I did. I’d rather have well adjusted kids than be well rested.

I always love reading the "productivity hacks" of people without kids and there is always an item which is basically:

- go to bed and wake up at the same time and try to get 8 straight hours. Or if not, take a nap etc.

Good luck with that if you have multiple children under 5

My favorite is the book How To Live Your Life In 24 Hours which was written around 1920 I think. It doesn't technically imply you don't have kids... more that your wife will take care of literally all the work at home.

Don't have time in the morning? Tell your wife to fill the kettle and put matches beside it so you can more easily prepare your tea when you wake up!

That’s genius! Why didn’t I think to ask my wife to leave the matches out! Ha ha.

Most advice in techworld begins with an implicit "don't have kids". Children don't and shouldn't exist.
