What the parent comment is suggesting is every second night one person gets a solid night sleep.

It's a great strategy for survival. We did this a lot with our second child and still so sometimes if there is a patch of disrupted sleep.

The person with the child is not getting zero sleep. A small baby can't stay awake for an entire night. So you could get two or three hours in small batches.

You are exhausted the next day, but at least you have the following night to recover.

If you have a full time job you just do your job. You are really tired and not operating at 100℅ but you get through and it is better than having 2 or 3 hours broken sleep every night.
