I slept around 5 hours last night split up into two periods because my baby daughter woke up crying from fever and wanted to play / was hallucinating / etc. She's totally fine now but I am wondering if there is a correlation between dementia and having kids.

This kind of fear is a quick route to insomnia. One of the most effective ways to reduce sleep is to worry about it.

I think CBTI is pretty horrible but I'm happy it works for some people.

There's so much helpful stuff out there now it's rather a blessing.
