DamChats 27) Why aren’t we sleeping? A parents grapple.

Do you find yourself exhausted but still up late cleaning toys, folding laundry, or scrolling through your phone instead of heading to bed? You’re not alone. In this episode of Dam Parenting, Eva and Maren explore the all-too-common struggle of Revenge Bedtime Procrastination—when parents sacrifice their precious evening hours for a moment of peace, productivity, or personal time after a hectic day of parenting.


They dive deep into a recent conversation Eva had with her therapist about the overwhelming nightly tasks that follow the kids’ bedtime. From tidying up clutter to tackling the never-ending laundry pile and dealing with dishes, it’s easy to feel like there’s no time for rest. Together, they discuss the emotional and psychological reasons behind this nighttime chaos and how procrastination often keeps us from getting the sleep we so desperately need.


Eva and Maren also share practical tips for creating better bedtime routines for both parents and kids. What does a true wind-down ritual look like? How can we reclaim our evenings without sacrificing much-needed sleep? Tune in for actionable strategies to shift from chaotic, sleepless nights to relaxing, restorative ones for the whole family.
