New South Wales (Australia) - As the mother of a baby, women go through a lot. Claire Morgan (30) from New South Wales, Australia, realized exactly how much when she took a look at the video of her baby monitor. But it wasn't just the mother who was shocked when she saw the recording, but also one or two other TikTok users. The clip has been going viral for a few days now.

The whole video is quite creepy in its black and white tone. In it, Morgan's four-week-old son Hunter lies well protected and covered up in his crib.

Then it happens: the mother lifts the blanket again, puts it aside and turns back. When she comes back into the picture, she pretends to put her baby back to bed. The 30-year-old lowers her empty hands, then covers the child a second time!

The curious clip has received more than 38 million clicks on TikTok in less than a week, plus a good 4.4 million likes. In an interview with Newsweek this week, Morgan admitted that she hadn't known this level of tiredness existed.

But why had the overtired mother even had the time to look at the old footage?

"As a young mother, I was a bit obsessed with all the sleep analysis, so I scrolled back to check," the Australian explained to the US magazine.

Incidentally, the young mother had brought her acute lack of sleep on herself by making a mental error.

The 30-year-old tried to stay awake between night-time feeds so as not to accidentally go back to sleep when Hunter was hungry. Naturally, this made Morgan even more tired and exhausted.

Eventually, she realized the vicious cycle. "It got better from there. I have a very supportive husband who helped me sleep as much as possible," she says.
