I have 2 kids, 1 is teething, it’s quite hard work. I only work 4 days a week now but the 3 days off are the hardest!
Anyway, moaning over, here’s some solutions that I’ve found
CONSULT A DOCTOR BEFORE TAKING ANY SUPPLEMENTS
Supplements to Boost Energy Levels
Sleep:
Magnesium Glycinate – I use Doctor’s Best brand. Tablets are massive but seems to be the only one that helps me sleep
Glycine – I use Bulkpowders version. Great for sleep and relaxation
5 HTP – great for sleep and weird dreams. Go easy though, can give you an upset stomach
Phenibut – if I wake up in the night, I’ll sometimes take 500mg of phenibut. It helps promote deep sleep. Stick to once per week though, it’s addictive.
Vitality
Adaptogens can help boost resitance to stress, increase energy levels and help the immune system to function
Rhodiola
Cordyceps Mushrooms
Holy Basil
Ginseng
Nootropics
Nootropics are anything that boost cognitive functioning
These include
Choline
Acetyl-L-Carnitine (allows improves fertility)
PQQ
Racetams
L-Theanine
Noopept
DO YOUR RESEARCH before taking any supplements

The ketogenic diet is also great for sleep deprivation, in my experience. It’s a right pain to stick to though and can be expensive.
