vicious cycle aka sleep regression aka is this just my life now?

LO wanted to go to sleep around 7-7:30. Brought her up, did her feeding, put her down.

She is still awake- two hours later. She’ll close her eyes for a few minutes, then wake up crying again and again.

She’s rubbing her eyes and clearly tired.

I’ve even already put her on the breast again, but she is still awake. It’s like she’s discovering everything and will not close her eyes.

She’s completely quiet right now, but her eyes are wide open looking at something- I can’t tell what.

All I can think- she’s overtired, she’s going to wake up too soon, I’m going to be spending the night getting her back to sleep. And I have no idea how to stop this, as I get her to nap 3ish hours every day.

Week 6 rapidly approaching week 7 of the sleep regression. Which makes me think this is just my life now, and that month where she was sleeping through the night was just the vacation before the new normal.

Rant over.
