[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Stick to your bedtime.  In the early days, I would stay up longer, and the lack of sleep would backfire.  On the trips when I made sleep the priority at night, I did much much better.  Did not have extra help. [/quote]

This is golden advice. Also at some point towards the middle of his trip, try and get an afternoon or evening to yourself.

Like take the day off of work and be alone to get your head on. Reset. It keeps you from burning out.

My husband used to travel for multi week international trips. And we’re not well off. It was all paid for by the contract. It was exhausting when my baby was small and got easier once she was in daycare. Now in middle school we have way fewer trips pop up and they give more notice. It’s OK to do cheater meals like a frozen pizza now again. Take as many shortcuts as you can and let your house get a little messy. Don’t feel like you have to stay on top of everything. It will all be there when it gets back too lol. Let yourself be imperfect.

You’ve got this! [/quote]
