Running On Empty — Why you're still exhausted, and what to do about it

For parents. 0–48 months. Read it in one sitting tonight.

The baby slept seven hours and you still feel like this. You snapped at someone you love before 8am. You have started to wonder whether it is the sleep at all.

Instead: you read something that is about you, not the baby — what months of broken nights do to your mood, your memory and your patience, what gets better on its own once sleep improves, and what does not and needs a real talk with your doctor.

This book describes what it feels like. It does not diagnose. It says plainly when to stop handling it alone and ask for help.
