I have no advice for you but same. I had been waking up at 530 and exercising and getting my life together before my now 6 month old wakes up. Now I roll out of bed when he’s screaming at me. I was hypothesizing to my husband if could be related to weening from breastfeeding or maybe my thyroid getting out of whack. I dk what it is but I’m exhausted.

I used to be able to work so much earlier than I do now and have no problem doing it but now I feel like it takes more of a toll on my body and I see other people living on 6 hours of sleep but by 2:00pm every day I’m exhausted and getting up for 6:30 is a struggle when I used to be able to get up at 4:30 no problem

Every morning I have the greatest intention to get up 2-3 hours before my daughter to get some work in and ‘be ahead of my day’ I just can’t get myself out of bed and end up getting up 1 hour before her and then just checking my emails and that’s it before she wakes up
Can you share morning duty with your partner? Perhaps switch off every other day? They get baby up and entertained while you get ready, etc. I have found it's pretty impossible to do it all myself.
Or perhaps even hire a morning sitter ;)

Not sure how old your daughter is but if you still find yourself worrying about her in her own room, look into the Owlet sock. Best purchase I ever made for my daughter (and me!!)
I commiserate with you. Wish I had some advice. Hang in there!

I start a new schedule at work next week and the only way I can make sure to devote enough time to my daughter and work. I figured out that I should start work by 4:00am every morning to have enough time for both

I feel you so hard on this. I feel like I hit a wall in the mornings. The only way I can get up at 5am now is if I’m in bed by 9:30. I didnt sleep well when we first moved our baby into his own room too, so I get it. Your body may be telling you to slow down and catch up on some of that rest you lost.
