I have 3 kids. The most tired I had ever been was working a dead end job in my 20s.

I used to work 7x 20-hour days in a row once a year for about 5-6 years, sleeping on the floor of the office to get an 150k-word academic journal published.

Caring for a kid is one thing, trying to proof read academia at your fourth sunset-sunrise cycle in a week is another.
