Sleepless Nights | Parents discuss managing extreme tiredness

Surviving on a lack of sleep with babies and toddlers... The one where Emma and Elliot chat about funny sleep-deprivation stories, hallucinations, grumpy husbands, differences between a first child and having two children; will you ever sleep again? Let's grumble together about our collective lack of sleep... How much sleep do you get with your baby, toddler or child? Do you have a sleep-deprived story? We don't have answers or solutions, just sharing our experiences.

This is part of our summer throwback to our past episodes from 2 years ago, re-edited and re-released for 2025. Enjoy these classic conversations if you're not busy over the summer, and we'll be back with exciting new topics from September

Unwind on sleepless nights to a wholesome mix of parenting stories, quirky humour, and cosy crafting. We’re not here to provide answers but to share our experiences, explore how parenting has changed, and build an online community of parents for mutual support.

A fun, honest and unscripted conversation between Emma and Elliot on non-judgemental parenting and millennial-based topics, as we relax on an evening attempting an artistic or creative activity. 

We are a project in partnership with The Kairos Movement and supported by The Methodist Church, of which The Kairos Movement is a part
