  • Of course, if you reread my comment I mentioned other random jobs may also do that.

    I have seen people say sleep deprivation from mental health can also be exhausting af . The difference with a self issue is a doctor can often prescribe a sleeping pill so you can get rest. But a parent can’t choose that if they don’t have a person they can rely on for child care in the night.

    For another example my wife has a disability, she works 2-3 hours and drives home, so mentally and physically tired that she pulls over about halfway home and sleeps at the side of the road for half hour, before continuing the journey. She is that exhausted.

    Now imagine somebody else controls when she could take that needed sleep time.


  • Some people might have luck, but a newborn doesn’t care when night or day is, and can wake every two hours and need care. Its the most exhausting thing most parents go through…says the parents group we belonged to. Its why some people hire an after birth doula, and why multi generational families in one home is a huge help.

    It was honestly more exhausting than working 55-60 hours a week and doing my nightschool program at the same time.

    There’s a reason sleep deprivation is used in torture


  • It’s the lack of sleep when you have a new born that is the challenge.

    I’m sure there are random jobs where you are worked to the bone and then transit home and do it again, too early, that give a similar lack if sleep.

    When I had cancer I had daily neck radiation for 2 months, and chemo. Those fatique the hell out of you as the cell destruction is processed by the body. I had 3 teens to take care of by myself as a single dad, and being self employed still had to manage 20 hours of contract work to keep paying bills. I found that easier then the newborn stages, because sleep was on my schedule not a random time.









  • Installing with drives separately installed is safest, but if you have windows installed then install Linux on another drive most distros prompt to probe for other OSs and it will crest a boot entry in grub so that you can choose what to boot, rather than using bios to choose temporary boot option.

    A separate EFI partition on the same drive as windows is also enough for windows to leave your boot alone. If you wanted to only use a single drive. This requires a little more care during setup to ensure you great an EFI and root/home partitions without clobbering the WindowsOS partitions
