For most people, not having enough sleep can make us grumpy, irritable, unable to focus... it just does not feel good when we're tired yet baby still requires ongoing care. So this can lead to a spiral especially when you don't know when is the next chance to catch up on your sleep! To prevent this, work out some sort of a shift system with your partner and whoever is able to chip in for the first few months. So each of you get to sleep properly for at least 4 - 5 hours.
