That is almost too hard to believe. Sleep less? Ok. More fragmented? Doubtful, unless your baby slept more than 4hrs straight in their infancy.

My wife and I set up sleep shifts during the first two months. I would sleep from 9 PM to 3 AM, then we'd spend an hour all together, then she'd sleep from 4 AM to 10 AM. During a person's sleep time, they were not to be disturbed except for an emergency. We'd also sleep anytime the baby was napping.
It kept us sane. Just knowing that we would each get hours of uninterrupted sleep was great.
Same on my side; I was constantly working and studying with 2-3 hours sleep max for years.
Life was harder. Then again nothing breaks my brain like the cry of my daughter so probably not one to one.
Students also tend to be younger. We could all survive on 4h as young adults, I imagine.
Our kid sleeps like crap, some nights I don’t get any full cycles (~90 minutes in adults).
I’ve no idea why we’re trying for a second, send help.
