One of the more underrated aspects of becoming a father last year has been my ability to function at any hour of the day. My wife jokes that between the night owls and early birds, we both learned how to live as permanently exhausted pigeons, but living without decent sleep for days on end was a staple trademark to my family growing up. We woke up notoriously early and fell asleep later than usual, but it never really ruined our ability to function on a day-to-day basis.
A big part of me thought about that when I woke up at 4 a.
