How much sleep do you get on average? My watch tells me I’m averaging about five hours a night and I feel awful, but also as though all of my partners are putting in more hours. I’ve got a toddler and am a junior partner. When I’ve made (lighthearted) comments to partners about being tired and excited for this stretch to pass since having my kid, I’ve basically gotten the impression they think the sleep I’m getting is the same as theirs (or more) and I either toughen up or get out.

I was around the same as you for most of my career. My doctor gave me a stern talking to, plus my youngest is getting out of the toddler stage so I’ve started prioritizing 7-8 hours a night. Feel 100x better and would highly recommend.

Probably 6 hours base case though average is lower because more worse nights than better, so theres sort of an extra hour to hope for!

4 hours - but it’s mostly because my 8 year old refuses to sleep on her own and keeps me up

7-8. I get more done faster with good sleep. Plaintiff side PI practice.

5.75-6 hours avg. I catch up a little on weekends by sleeping in Saturday mornings (and sometimes Sundays).

6-7, sometimes 8. I’ve found I need way more sleep than my husband who is also an attorney can is good on closer to 5.5-6.5. If you feel like you need it, prioritize it. I can’t function on less and get way more sick. Also, anyone with kids, newborn until driving age at least I find are just in a different boat in terms of having to work very hard to get sufficient sleep. I put my phone on do not disturb after 930 unless I know I’m expecting something, in the middle of a deal signing/closing, etc., and try very hard not to consistently check it past around that time so my mind can turn off sufficiently by 1030/11.
