I can\u2019t remember it exactly, but it was like you\u2019re taking a year off of your life for every year that you\u2019re not getting a good night\u2019s sleep, so I want to be around for my kids,&#8221; she shared.<\/p>\n<p class=\"base__StyledType-rui__sc-18muj27-0 IEPPf sc-7dicpk-0 ccZqsH core-paragraph\">&#8220;I think many mothers can relate to this: We put everybody first and then wind up taking care of ourselves in the wee hours of the night or morning, and that\u2019s why we\u2019re not getting enough sleep. But then compound that with the television show, and compound that with running companies, and then also with being premenopausal.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"base__StyledType-rui__sc-18muj27-0 IEPPf sc-7dicpk-0 ccZqsH core-paragraph\">Over the course of the past three years, the HGTV series aired 44 episodes and garnered over 16.6 million views in one season, according to\u00a0<a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/press.wbd.com\/us\/media-release\/hgtv\/hgtv-hit-series-married-real-estate-starring-egypt-sherrod-and-mike-jackson-returns\" target=\"_blank\">Warner Bros.
