Struggling with work after bad sleep

My son wakes very frequently at night (not even managing 2h stretches lately) and is usually an early riser. I deal with almost all the night wakes, dad takes him when he wakes up so sometimes I can get an extra hour or so before I have to be up to get ready for work. I think I’ve just got used to it to be honest. I find eating well helps, coffee, getting fresh air and keeping busy- I think if I had a desk/office job that I’d struggle more!
An early night! My day usually starts at 5 (or half 4 this morning), full time IT job, I do have some days where I struggle but find that if I go to bed early it helps. I choose sleep over evenings at the moment. I'm sure at some point she'll sleep past 5 but for the time being that's her wakeup time
Only thing that helps me is caffeine and sugary sweets to get through my work day. I work with kids so I’m constantly on my feet running around and doing jobs. Sometimes I’ll have a nap after work while dad looks after our daughter x
