I and my wife co-sleep with my daughter that is now almost 4 months old, this worked very well for us, basically she sleeps the whole night, interrupting us just when she needs some milk. However because she is breastfed it is pretty natural because of co-sleeping so my wife just let she start getting the milk and fall asleep again after a few second.
Surely it does not work for everybody but when it works it means to have small children without having sleep depravation, so I suggest to try this approach of breastfeeding + co-sleeping for sure.
Btw we also don't use an alarm clock, but always go to bed around 00:00, and get up before 9:00 more or less automatically. When we don't sleep enough for some reason, the reality is that we lose a lot more time compared to the 9 hours of sleep as you are basically useless after noon because already too tired to really do great work (btw we actually sleep 8 hours, 1 hour is some pre-post bed time).
IMHO sleep depravation is very very linked to procrastination.
