Surviving the No-Sleep Olympics: A Parent Caregiver’s Guide to Not Falling Apart (Completely)
Jul 23, 2025
This picture might appear bleak but to me it is what I rely on when the world gets hard.
The tree trunks stay consistent regardless of the season.
It is my reminder to keep doing the basic things that work so when it's time to bloom I'm ready.
You ever run the No-Sleep Olympics?
There’s no podium. No gold medal.
Just you, blurry-eyed, reheating your coffee for the third time, clinging to a sliver of routine like it’s a life raft.
No one sees you sweeping crumbs off yesterday’s meltdown or resetting the same basket of laundry again.
But that’s the event. That’s the sport. That’s survival.
We think strength looks like sparkle—but it actually looks like repeat.
The towel always on the hook.
The snack station you don’t have to think about.
The nighttime reset that still happens even when bedtime was a war zone.
These are the quiet systems that carry you when your nervous system can’t.
They're not flashy—but they are faithful.
So if you’re here after a night (or two, or five) of no sleep—
Don’t reach for perfection.
Reach for rhythm.
Start one loop. Wipe one counter. Play one song that reminds you who you are.
Because surviving this season isn’t about doing more.
It’s about remembering what repeats, repairs.
