🏁 If you ain’t first, you’re last | 2-20-24

Among 38 global peers — we’re last.

Like dead last. 🤯🤯🤯

And, honestly — it doesn’t surprise us. 

In fact, last week, we shared some new research that shows a majority of moms are prioritizing catching up on sleep whenever they have a spare minute. 

We asked you in our poll and nearly 60% of you said you’re choosing sleep over sex, friends, or anything else too!

Why? Just a guess…maybe we’re all a tad bit exhausted from being in last place on that work/life quality list??

Actually — wait, wait, wait.

We’re gonna pause on the “bad news” for a hot second, okay?

Your comments on sex vs. sleep were just too good not to share 🤪

➡️ “just a quickie is so stress-relieving! It also alleviates any pain I have been having, any grudges held against my husband (I commonly declare afterward, “I’m not even mad anymore honey”), my mood is instantly better and I get my best sleep! Totally worth an extra who-gives-a-💩-how-long because the benefits far outweigh… any perceived ‘sacrifice.’ “

➡️ “I can always catch up on those other things. Sleep, however, I'm in a deficit. Health comes first and then I can enjoy those other things. ;)”

➡️ “I don’t get much alone time with three young kids, so my “other” is alone time which can be reading, watching my favorite show or exercising at home.”

And this one… man, it made us laugh.

➡️  “When I can get it, I get it.”
