In one line
I have not slept more than three hours in a row since October.
One night, drawn
A typical night from the ring: deep sleep at the bottom, awake at the top.
The diary
Night 2
Up at 00:40, 02:15, 03:50 and 05:30. We take the odd hours and she takes the even ones, which sounds fair until you are the one doing 03:50.
Night 9
Both girls slept from 23:00 to 04:10. I woke at 02:00 anyway and checked they were breathing. The ring counted it.
Night 20
My mother stayed over and did the night. I slept eight hours and woke up feeling worse. Nobody warned me about that.
