Co-sleeping at 9 months

It's 8:30 am and we've been up for over two and a half hours already. Not that we actually slept much from 1 am onward. SPT woke every 40 minutes after midnight. Hubby and I had decided to alternate hourly wakings, so SPT was nursed to sleep one hour by me, and snuggled to sleep the next hour by dad. The three nights previous, I nursed SPT to sleep every hour, and my nipples are so sore.

While SPT was playing on the floor, I googled "chronic sleep deprivation." How long can a person go without more than 2 consecutive hours of sleep at a time? It's been 9 months of this craziness, and I'm wondering when I'll lose it. How does SPT manage to have so much energy with this insane sleep pattern?
