Chapter 5: Ariana's Many Sleepless Nights
As Ariana Grande adjusted to life as a new mother, she quickly realized that sleepless nights were an inevitable part of the journey. No amount of fame or success could shield her from the exhaustion that came with caring for a newborn baby.
The nights blurred together as Ariana found herself waking up multiple times, responding to her baby girl's cries and needs. Sleep became a rare luxury, and Ariana often found herself stumbling through the day in a sleep-deprived haze.
In the early hours of the morning, Ariana would find herself cradling her baby girl, desperately trying to soothe her back to sleep. She would softly sing lullabies, gently rock her, and whisper words of comfort, all in the hopes of coaxing her little one into a peaceful slumber. However, it seemed that no matter what she tried, her baby girl had other plans.
The nights became a blur of feedings, diaper changes, and endless attempts to settle her baby back to sleep. Ariana's once well-rested and glamorous appearance gave way to dark circles under her eyes and messy hair.
