As a new father who goes to bed at 8-9pm and gets up around 3-4am, I can't imagine _not_ doing this with a child.


Indeed, and I remember those years too

right now I have to get a kiddo to school by 7.50am, so we get up at 6.30 and she goes to bed at 7.30.

TFA is talking about carving out 4 hours a morning of "me time". It's hard to do that with a kid and a job


It will change over time. My child is now in high school, but not yet driving age, so I have to provide much of the transportation. School starts at 7:30am, 4 days a week (0 period) and 9am the other day. He has after school activities that means he gets home at 9:30pm 2-3 nights a week. He stays at school the entire time and studies or goofs off with the rest of the band students depending on his workload.

Going to bed before 10pm is basically impossible for us. 11pm is more common. Then it's up again between 5:30 and 6:30 to do it all again.
