Octomum: "I don't get much sleep"

Nadya Suleman has revealed that she doesn't get much sleep.

The 34-year-old, who hit headlines last year when she gave birth to octuplets as well as already having six children, said that she has "matured a lot" since having them.

Suleman told People magazine: "I don't get much sleep. About two or three hours a night. But I'm continuing to move forward with my life and trying to be the best mother I can be.

"I've definitely matured a lot. When this started, it was all about me. But now I find myself in a situation where I have to support a large family and take care of a large household. I've been through more in the past year than most people go through in a lifetime.

"I've been sued, harassed, abused, but I've held my own. I think about others now and not so much about myself. I spend more time thinking about paying bills, paying my mortgage and paying attention."

"One of the biggest challenges is bonding with my babies. I need the help of my nannies, but I don't want my children being raised in something that resembles a group home."
