How much sleep do you get?

[Katty]

After baby was born, I realized I can *function* with about 3 hours or so of sleep for a few nights. After a while, I'd have a complete emotional breakdown and make my husband keep her for a few hours. 
Lately, though, it's been 5-8, but not consecutive. I am wondering if there will ever be a time, again, that I'll be able to close my eyes at 11 and open them again at 7. Part of me misses those days. To be fair, those days were gone long before I had a baby. The brutal irony is that I absolutely hate night time, but that hatred has, if anything, led to more insomnia, not less.
