I get it man. It’s really tough. How old is your kid? Mine is a 5 years old boy and he doesn’t seem to need a lot of sleep but a huge amount of companionship which really bugs me out.
In theory, it’s better to sleep early, get up around 5 and get 2 hours of quality time, but man he sometimes gets up around 6:15 and earlier, and I found it difficult to get good sleep anyway, so I tried to switch to 2 hours of night time, but he wants to sleep with me for 30 mins around 9pm before going to my wife’s bed, and I usually fell sleep sooner than he did…
Girls are much easier to raise. They sleep earlier and don’t fight too much, as far as I heard from friends.

Definitely depends on the specific children!
I guess so. But the sample size is over 10, although not statistically significant but definitely something.
I actually have some ideas about this kind of situation, drop me a line, email in my profile!
I'm now a post kids greybeard; two nats, two steps, both flavours. Yes, girls under 10 are easier than boys. That flips on you in the teen years!
That sounds scary…I don’t know how to communicate with teenage boys. I had a lot of quarrels with my parents back then.
