How freaky, I would rather not know haha

Hahah the was good fun.
In 3 1/2 years I’ve lost 7 months sleep and changed 9200 nappies.
Pretty accurate, with the sleep I’d say

It’s so scary to see it in actual numbers lol! I have done some silly things in my sleep deprived state – I think the silliest one was spooning coffee straight onto the counter instead of a cup. I really needed coffee that day!

Maybe they should try to calculate much sleep the average grandparent loses if he/she cares for the child one night or longer in a month. I don’t the parents even think about it.

Um, too frightening to actually work out. Obviously, it’s different for everyone. I had a child who didn’t sleep for the first 8 months, and screamed 24/7 for the first 12 months so… I’ve no doubt it’s not accurate for me. However, if we knew how much sleep we were not going to get, we may not procreate.

Not sure on how realistic the calculator is. But I’ve supposedly lost 8months of sleep with a 6 yr old and 1yr old.
Both are great sleepers once they get ready for bed.

The loss of sleep calculator should go beyond 6 years old. What about the teenage years when you stay awake waiting for the door to open so you know they are home from their night out safely?

  Lol! A very good point about the teen years!

Reasonably lucky in our household – not too much sleep deprivation.

Don’t think the calculator works very well, but not so important. Losing some sleep while having kids is part of this lovely package
