I do not doubt that this was possible for you, or that your kids turned out fine.

But I think you are making a very bold assumption based on a sample of two, and also being quite dismissive of the challenges that other parents are facing.

Personally I believe I would have broken down mentally had I not spent the vast majority of the downtime on getting sleep myself.
