Moms Having Less Sleep
May be the new age moms are also the victims of the new age uncertainty! Or else how can this notion of conventional pride changes so suddenly! It has come out form a new survey, that the modern mothers are having great trouble rocking their babies to sleep that they get just three and a half hours of sleep. The survey has further stated, that this is just half the sleep their mothers used to have. What's more, the survey of 3,000 mothers, conducted for Mother and Baby magazine, found that due to lack of sleep, working mother with young children are 'shattered'.
However, the other parts of the same survey has observed that fifty percent of adult women feel that their deprivations from sleep has already put a great strain on their relationship, with not les than 10 pct have split from their partners.
While talking to Elena Dalrymple, the editor of the magazine, it has been learnt that the situation being so grave, the sleep-deprived mums most often vent their frustration on their partners. To this Elena said in her own words, "If you're only getting three and a half hours sleep night after night and sometimes less, you'll most likely take your frustration and anger out on your partner." But what used to be the schedule in the age of the grannies? To several grannies, also conducted by the same survey, they used to have six hours of sleep after they had children. More than that that they also had several tactics to settle their kids to sleep. What ere the tactics? The present mom should learn these by heart! The tactics included leaving them to cry for longer (45 per cent), giving them a dummy (40 per cent), setting up a better system (26 per cent) and stop breastfeeding (33 per cent). But the modern moms are always on their knees with a sleep for three-and-a-half hours' four months after childbirth, and just five hours a night when the baby is year and a half old.
