I don't drink coffe, something I'm seriously starting to reconsider since my alertness and efficiency have seen a huge dip. What are your methods of dealing with the lack of sleep that accompanies a new born?
Get into a routine so that you and your wife can alternate on attending to the baby at night. When you get used to having only 3 or 4 hours of sleep, it becomes easier.
I've used all those wonderful things that are so bad for our bodies too. I use to drink a lot of Cuban coffee. It's a small shot that is very powerful and will wake you up right away. I've been trying to get my diet to include more healthy things so I don't have to depend on artificial things that are bad for the body so much.
