Sleepless nights caused by a crying baby are blamed by parents for the breakdown of up to a third of relationships, research shows.
Parents with a young child get about six hours sleep a night, an hour less than is recommended.
Experts also say that adults need at least five hours? uninterrupted sleep to be able to function and concentrate properly the next day.
A survey of 2,000 parents found that 30 per cent of those who had divorced or separated blamed sleepless or interrupted nights caused by their children.
Eleven per cent admitted pretending to be asleep when their child woke up so their partner would have to deal with them.
