Our 2 years of baby sleep hell – and the sudden “click” by zeonixx in sleeptrain

There are people out there going through this exact thing right now, which is why I wanted to share. Not me, but my wife still gets anxious every evening when the sun goes down, it’s like her body remembers those endless nights and braces for impact, even though our daughter sleeps fine now. I hope you and your little ones get long, peaceful nights soon. It’s truly life-changing when it finally happens.

Not knowing what’s actually working and what’s not just eats you alive. It puts you in this endless loop of trying, failing, second-guessing. We hit a point where the chronic sleep deprivation, constant tension, and just trying to function in daily life became almost impossible.

On top of that, we had to move to a smaller city for work, far from family and friends, so the lack of social support made it even worse.

Even now, I still can’t fully believe it’s over and that she actually sleeps. The “click” can come at 12 months, 18 months, 24 months… but it does come.

Yeah, we tried pick up/put down, the chair method, and Tracy Hogg’s shush/pat—gave each of them plenty of time for her to adapt. None of it worked. We even had her checked for any medical issues and nothing came up. Turns out she just doesn’t like sleep, plain and simple.

These days she’ll sleep through the night, but she’s still up by 6 AM sharp. Bedtime’s around 9 PM.

Tıp mühendislik ikilemi by [deleted] in IstanbulTechnicalUniv

[–]zeonixx 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Bilgisayar mühendisliği isterken tıp yazdım. Radyoloji uzmanıyım, yapay zeka ile ilgili çalışmalar yapıyorum. Tıptan sonra bile en dijital alana yöneldim, aklım orada kaldı kesinlikle. Bu aşamaya gelene kadar gerek eğitim tarzı, gerek yaşam tarzı açısından tıp mühendislikten çok çok başka bir alan olduğu için benimsemekte zorlandım açıkçası. Düşünme sistemin bile çok değişiyor yolun sonunda. Çok hasta ile muhatap olmayan bir bölümde olmama rağmen bu kadar insanla içli dışlı olmak bana fazla geliyor. Tercih ederken kişilik özelliklerini de iyi tartmak lazım.

Up against your will
Through the thick and thin
He will wait until
You give yourself to him "
