Living with Sleep Deprivation w/ Jill Arneson (Rebroadcast)

There are many reasons we lose sleep as parents of children with disabilities. Maybe our child requires nighttime medical care or monitoring, and we don’t have nighttime nursing. Perhaps we feel guilty for sleeping while they’re not. Or we are unable to sleep while our minds buzz with a never-ending list of tasks of care, of past trauma, and fear of the future.
In this episode, Jill shares what keeps her up at night and the things she does to try to get a little more sleep.
