She said: “For almost six years, I walked around like a zombie. There are parts of those times when I do not remember going to sleep at all – the best I can remember is sneaking cat naps here and there. At most I was getting a total of one hour’s sleep per day. As a mum you just have to keep on going and that was my way of doing it. There were times when I’d just burst into tears and think “I can’t cope anymore”.
