    Save Our Sleep (AKA Save Our Marriage)

    In this episode of The Wing, we enter the delirious, caffeine-fuelled world of trying to “save our sleep” — or at least remember what sleep used to feel like.  We talk baby routines, unrealistic expectations, middle-of-the-night negotiations, and the emotional rollercoaster of Googling “is it normal for…” at 3:17am. From strict schedules to survival mode, we unpack the pressure to get sleep “right,” the guilt when it all goes sideways, and the tiny wins that feel like Olympic gold when you’re running on two broken hours.  If you’ve ever whispered “please just stay asleep” like it’s a sacred chant… this one’s for you. Expect honesty, a few laughs, and strong solidarity with anyone currently parenting through the fog.
