Right now, your body is in recovery & survival mode, not optimization mode.
On broken sleep days (which may be most days right now)
Non-negotiables
5–10 min outside (light + fresh air)
Eat something protein-based 2–3 times per day
Gentle movement (even just walking)
Plenty of water
Breathe
If that’s all you do, that counts as a successful day
Nap, rest, sleep at night when you can!
Getting a couple of hours before baby & partner get to bed is helpful for some.(Never worked for me unfortunately)
Take the nap traps, be productive later
Just understand, lack of sleep has a huge impact on our brains, body and mood.
It improves over time but be gentle with yourself & realistic with expectations!
