For some time I was driving to the office (or my clients'), and almost everyday taking a nap in it after dropping the kids at daycare. When we got a minivan I even sneaked a comforter in it. I was going at the lowest level to avoid being seen, and took an extra half hour sleep. It made all the difference. Yet I felt shameful.

I remember the sensation of feeling drained of all energy at 8am, after battling to get kids through the door.

Time plays in your favor. It gets easier, much faster than you think.
