PARENTS' SLEEP
Parents of new babies miss out on 44 days of sleep in the first year of their child's life.
Research says new parents lose about 44 days of sleep in the first year of their newborn's life. In fact, new parents often get about 5.1 hours of sleep per night. But that number may be even lower when the child is first born.
It's not exactly surprising news that new parents don't get a lot of sleep. According to the Daily Mail, research says new parents lose about 44 days of sleep in the first year of their newborn's life. In fact, new parents often get about 5.1 hours of sleep per night.
But that number may be even lower when the child is firstborn. BabyCenter blogger Sara McGinnis had her sister-in-law, who had just given birth to a baby girl, Alison, use Fitbit's sleep tracker app to monitor "how things change after baby arrives."
The Fitbit tracker, which measured her sister-in-law's sleep patterns for several nights the week of Alison's birth, showed that the new mother wasn't anywhere close to even getting a total of eight hours of sleep per day. McGinnis wrote it was just "an average of four hours and four minutes a day, with no one period of sleep lasting so much as three hours."
