I can definitely relate to the late night over-scrolling, staying up too late, and not being my best self (/being the parent I want to be). But my days are filled with chaos, overstimulation, and overwhelm, and night time is the only time it's quiet. But I could definitely be using those hours better and going to bed at a more reasonable time. My New Years resolution is to get more sleep. Probably need to cut back on social media, too. Thanks for the food for thought.
Being perpetually under-rested/overstimulated seems to be the mark of modern parenthood! I'm right there with you.
I very selfishly want another parent to delete IG (or Facebook, TikTok, YouTube, whatever the drug of choice is) from their phone for a week to see if their results match my own. I have been REALLY surprised at the outcomes. Be a guinea pig with me? :)
