Where's my sleep deprived ADHD parents at?

🔥

I was originally going to say Momma's but my husband who doesn't have ADHD is also impacted *some* nights that my son wakes up or if I try to cuddle him at 3am to try to fall back asleep.

Anyways, what are some tips you think for functioning with chronic sleep deprivation? I wake up anytime I hear or feel or think my son is moving. It is a biological thing. I was already cleared by the doctor. It should get better as he gets bigger. I am like maybe 9 months to a year away from having my old sleep patterns back.

Things I have been looking into:

Creatine

More protein before bed and if I wake up for more than an hour another protein snack

I do take naps but they are basically on my days off or weekends. When I have my son all day, I nap when he does.
