>There were months where I maybe got an hour or two of sleep a night.

I feel like this is very easy to gloss over while reading, but in actuality is quite an intense experience to have gone through. This would drive me actually insane, I don't know how to coped with it

It was utter torment. I had to run a team at work all the while. I was able to do it, but only through sheer willpower. I had to constantly reiterate to myself what was happening and the timeline for it to be over to be able to deal with it. It increased my mental toughness dramatically. My life is actually much better now because of the entire experience.
