So, she was totally alone. She spent the night without her baby, probably spiraling in her head about everything that could go wrong. On the other hand, her husband would probably be of little use or comfort sleep-deprived.

Exhausted new father 'abandons' wife and newborn child after emergency c-section, wife takes it personally in heightened emotional state
Welcome, web-surfin' sisters. Did you know that driving while sleep deprived can be just as dangerous as drinking and driving? Indeed, drowsiness slows reaction time and obliterates alertness. Anyone that has pulled an all-nighter writing final essays in university knows that sleep deprivation can also be accompanied by heightened anxiety, mild visual and audio hallucinations, as well as poor memory — none of which are conducive to having any sort of responsibility. Any jobs that involve operating heavy machinery require their workers to get a full night's rest; I once even had a flight cancelled because the crew did not get the minimum hours of sleep before take off.
In our story today, a dedicated husband promises his wife he will be by her side throughout the birth of their child. All goes well until the newborn is taken for examination due to health issues, extending their stay in the hospital. Without a bed to rest in, our protagonist makes the call to leave his wife to get enough sleep in order to be as useful and helpful as possible. Get all the details down below.
