Have you ever considered that your exhaustion might ruin the quality of those family moments anyway? Dragging through the next day on no sleep turns you into a frazzled host who can't even remember the stories shared. Sacrificing your wind-down routine regularly sets a precedent where your needs always come last, and that resentment builds. Think about the plumbing emergency, if you'd been well-rested, you could have handled it with clear focus instead of struggling. Protecting your sleep isn't selfish, it's essential for being fully engaged when you are together.

Sustainability metrics are in there, but @cooper.drew proved they require constant pushing.
