Reply to comment by Fat_flounder in Poor sleep in middle age can have a negative impact on brain health, according to a study by researchers at The Australian National University by chrisdh79

As a parent with small kids, sacrificing sleep to have a few quiet hours with no tiny supervisors is an easy choice. Sleep is a waste of time when I could be doing literally anything else. I'll change my time when I can't remember my own name, but for now it's a waste of time.

I needed to read this. I have a 6 and 3 year old and I love sleep but I'm definitely staying up til 1am playing video games with my mates from 10pm when the little shits are asleep. It's the only 'me time' I get.

I also have a 3 year-old. If she wakes up to pee I’m screwed because I can’t go back to sleep. Between a full-time job and being a dad I overindulge in my hobbies when the time is available. I’ve had a sleeping problem since I was a teenager. I guess this messes up my plans for living to be 99 like my grandfather.
