I would like to express my gratitude to the relevant authorities in the medical community, particularly the American Academy of Pediatrics, for their guidelines regarding children’s sleep requirements—guidelines that my children seemingly chose to disregard during last night’s events.
It is with a sense of humility that I accept this award for the Most Challenging Night of Sleep, specifically in the category of Exhausted Parent Whose Partner Is Away. The competition was indeed fierce, and I hold immense respect for all the other nominees, wishing them success in their own sleep-deprived endeavors.
Acknowledgments
First and foremost, I must acknowledge my three-year-old. Your insistence on hydration from 2:45 to 3:30 a.m. was an impressive display of vocal prowess, quickly morphing from a simple request for a drink to an all-out protest upon receiving water instead of milk. This performance was a true testament to your artistic flair.
I extend my appreciation to the agricultural community, whose dedication to providing nutritious food enabled me to maintain a healthy diet during my pregnancy. Without this foundation, it’s clear that your lung capacity would not have been sufficient to effectively rouse the household with your cries or to kick your crib with such force. Additionally, thanks are due to the manufacturers of sturdy cribs, which withstood the night’s events.
A heartfelt thanks goes to my mother for instilling in me the virtue of patience. As I attempted to soothe the aforementioned child, it felt less like a gentle rocking and more akin to grappling with a writhing mass of energy.
I also want to acknowledge my inner voice of reason, which finally decided at 3 a.m. that it was more practical to acquiesce to the demands for milk rather than engage in a battle of wills.
I must also thank my two daughters for their timely arrival in my bed shortly after I finally dozed off around 5 a.m. I graciously accept this award on behalf of their future partners, who are likely to endure some bruising due to their remarkable talents in kicking and kneeing.
A special mention goes to my eldest for her unexpected slap to my face, which added a unique twist to my acceptance speech.
Furthermore, I would like to extend my gratitude to the birds for their morning chorus at 6 a.m., which further solidified my claim to this honor, along with a 7 a.m. text from my beloved mother.
Lastly, I thank my spouse, who will be returning this evening. I hope to share this award with you, although you may find it more fitting to take it entirely since I plan to spend the night at my parents’ house.
Conclusion
In summary, while I may feel deserving of this award for the most challenging night of sleep, one thing is certain: I am incredibly tired.
