. There is no way your average mom with five children is snoozing for nine hours a night, or that parents holding down multiple jobs are still pulling in 8.1 hours each night.
So, we looked at the fine print that goes along with the data, and some other studies to make sure we weren’t going mad.First of all, the study emphasizes that the data is taken from the American Time Use Survey , a nationally representative study of individuals’ schedules that is released each year. But this isn’t a super-specific study when it comes to sleep.
, being in bed and playing Candy Crush with the light off, falling asleep for five minutes while your kids watch, falling asleep while your children jump up and down on you, laying awake worrying that your teen is trying pot at a sleepover, falling asleep while trying to watchfor ten minutes after bedtime, and waking up to change peed on/pooped on/vomited on bed sheets.
To get the real scoop on how long moms and dads rest each day, there are some much better studies out there, conducted by actual researchers and published in real journals. And they all agree that moms and dads aren’t getting the proscribed eight hours a night. Most are woefully– and that 60 percent are not logging more than 3.25 hours of real snoozing each night for the first 24 months. Now we’re talking.
So, don’t let this study gaslight you into thinking you are well-rested, or make you wonder if you’re the only one dragging your exhausted husk of a body around all day as you work and care for your kids and home. It’s just not true. Chances are, scientifically, if you have kids, you’re not getting enough sleep.
Why are other studies bullshit but the ones you post arent? 😂.

Oh, fuck that! The hell we do!
Mega Bull Shit on Fire!!! 😅
9 hours?! Does having a kid's toe in your eye count as sleep if your eyes are closed?
Was the study written by men?
I can provide Fitbit sleep data to rebuke this.
Hahahahaha ha!
NOT IN A ROW!!!
9?😂 It’s more like 9 a week (for mum and dad).
