Glad to hear things are picking up and the 'ick' has subsided. I wonder though if you're being a bit ambitious; I barely did any reading-for-leisure during my undergrad and I'm not getting much in now. It's one of those things that found themselves way down the list of priorities.
As for the lack of sleep, and I'm well aware that this will find itself in the 'what-the-hell-does-he-know' pile... night is for sleeping, meal times are for feeding and/or occasionally mommy might be unavailable sometimes even when he can see her (like when your trying to study, or when little brother or sister eventually appears). He can't have mommy on tap as and when he demands her. Otherwise you'll find yourse'f being woken up by his scout leader, demanding you drive 200 miles to pick him up from camp because he's on his second hour of a temper tantrum.*
