Couldn’t agree more!! When I talk to my parents about timing wake windows and sleep pressure they just stare at me blankly. I feel like work has also changed a lot for quite a number of jobs with the expectation that you are able to be communicated with all the time (despite the supposed “right to disconnect”). I dread going back to work and facing the “perks” of having a job that allows me to “log back in” once my baby is asleep to continue working.
Such a good point: in our generation it’s considered a ‘flexibility perk’ to work after 8PM once the kids are asleep. Typewriters and desktop computers never followed you home, to the dinner table and to bath time… We are always connected, but never more disconnected.
Ooo can’t wait for Wednesday!
