Don't understand evolutionary advantage of bad sleep
I lay awake holding my son who only contact sleeps wondering...how is this an evolutionary advantage? Why is it so difficult for babies to sleep and how did we evolve this way? I worry about going back to work like this. Driving when im just too sleep deprived. Questioning how all the parents around me are doing it. I am so overstimulated and agitated and somehow right now thinking....did our ancestors do this? Was it not as bad without a 9-5? Or have we all just suffered and somehow continue to have kids despite how painful it can be? Do other animals experience this? This just doesn't make sense.
