Yeah, parenting is probably the hardest factor here and I don’t think it makes sense to regularly go to bed earlier and wake up earlier, all-things-considered.
The value of occasionally waking up earlier in order to get yourself out of a state of reactivity and into a state of activity is still there, though. Maybe one day a week or one day every other week, you go to sleep earlier and spend the morning focusing on yourself or yourself and your wife.
The good thing about the approach I am taking here is that it doesn’t require that you wake up early every day, just that you do it when you feel like things are compounding on you and as a way to sort of reset that compounding feeling.
Hope that helps.
