Tricking yourself into thinking you got enough sleep

How do you survive the day when you've gotten little to no sleep? I have insomnia and see a doctor, take medications, etc., but sometimes it just doesn't work. New parents, looking at you.

It's like forcing yourself to smile so you feel happy. Just tell yourself you did actually sleep and you feel good. It works maybe half the time but it's free and worth a shot.

As someone who uses a sleep tracker (fitbit), on days when i know i didn’t sleep well, i don’t check the stats because if i know i only slept 4 hours, im going to be repeating that to myself all day. Happy not knowing.
