I've had one of those crazy weeks that I haven't had for a long time – up until 5-6 in the morning and then back at it again a few hours later.
There were times where I almost forgot to eat and then would suddenly find myself starving. A lot of the time I ended up raiding the house for chocolate and other munchy food. I was surprised by the behaviour but put it down to the lack of sleep.
Anecdotal, but I definitely noticed the low sleep = munchy behaviour in myself this week.
Your first kids? I have 2 little girls and I find they help me focus the time I have to be productive. Having said that, I had a friend with twins and every time I saw her she looked like she hadn't slept in days. "Relentless" was her description. Good luck :-)
You may well need the extra calories :/... I wonder if our bodies have evolved with sleep deprevation most likely being due to kids, leading to this connection.
Yup. This is scary how I just saw this article. I've been up 4 days. Coffee and Coke (the sugar kind). Bit more than I could chew with what should have been a hard coded feature into a full blown lib. I can feel how my short term memory is down 50%.
