It is often exhausting when you have a newborn baby since newborns require round the clock attention from their parents. Some of them have different sleeping patterns that make it extremely difficult for new parents to sleep. Lack of sleep significantly increases your chances of getting postpartum depression. Although most newborns will present relatively different sleeping challenges, there are standard measures that parents with a newborn baby can take into account to ensure that they get more sleep. In this article, we show you some of the ways new parents can get more sleep.

An average adult needs 7 to 9 hours of sleep every night. For those with a busy schedule, that may seem impossible to achieve, whether it’s because we’re too stressed, distracted with our phones, or have to complete a lot of work. Your body requires quality sleep, just as it needs food and air.

You feel like you're always going to bed early, but when your alarm goes off, it's hard to open your eyes and you're in a fog all day. You may feel like no matter how much sleep you're getting, you're still tired. But how do you know how much sleep you need?
How much sleep you need varies by age. While newborns under three-months-old may need up to 19 hours of sleep and adults over 65 may need as little as five hours, most adults need about seven to nine hours of sleep a night, according to the National Sleep Foundation. While not getting enough sleep can hurt your health in these sneaky ways, oversleeping and constantly being tired can be a sign of a problem.
What's best, according to Jacob Teitelbaum, MD, an internist who specializes in sleep, fibromyalgia, and pain, is to sleep the amount of time that leaves you feeling the best. "If you are needing more than 10 hours of sleep to feel restored, however, then that suggests that your sleep quality is poor and needs to be addressed," he says.
If you're getting enough sleep on a good schedule or are even oversleeping and still feel tired, it could be a sign of health problems.
