My 14 month old had a short wake up at 2:40am. For whatever reason (work stress, mostly) I couldn’t get back to sleep. I’ll be running on about 4 hours of sleep and caffeine today.

I ran on 4 hours of sleep per night for the first six months of my son’s life. I didn’t even know that a human can get that tired and still be alive.
We just got a new puppy and I’m new parent’s level of tired again.
My oldest was such a terrible sleeper, we were basically zombies for the first 6-8 months. I got rear ended on my way home from getting some diapers. The woman said she was tired because she had a new puppy. I told her I was tired because I had a baby. I was too tired to have any sympathy for her. Looking back, now I feel a little bad for being so snippy. Puppies are no joke.
He has to go out in the middle of the night, and early in the morning, and he takes constant attention throughout the day. I forgot how much time and effort puppies take after living with older dogs for a decade and a half. Idk why I thought this would be cute and fun. Babies are definitely still harder though, especially if they’re colicky.
