People always downplay its importance, and fail to see that how we function and view the world is very much influenced by the rest we're getting, or not getting as the case may be.

What's worse is when you're made to feel like you're exaggerating... that it can't be that bad, and surely you sleep sometimes etc.

As one with a little one, you know exactly how temperamental their nights (and days) can be, and that sometimes you're just running from one nap to the next.
