In the throes of parenting, it might seem normal to be sleep deprived. Many of us say we need more sleep, but aren't getting it. And it may seem like there's no way to get more…unless we start to shortchange our "me time".

In some households, that might look like general sleep debt, affecting all adults in the household. In others, it opens up the start of household inequality, where you're chronically getting less rest than someone else.

But we know sleep deprivation will tank your performance faster than you can say "white noise machine".

Getting the rest you actually need might seem difficult. And yet, a patriarchal system thrives when women are too exhausted to complain, to take action, and to agitate for change.

And that's why the radical move of reclaiming our rest is the first, best decision we can take.

What you'll learn:

• How the mental load impacts our need for sleep

• How our thinking about our sleeping hours ends up carrying over to other areas…and creates inequality at home

• The patriarchal and productivity narratives that keep women chronically under-rested

• Using a "sleep audit" to get your sleep back on track, and understand the impact of your own socialization

• Why thought work is such an effective approach
