Exact same here. Except in my case, she wins more often than not. She has her ways of making me do things....

Many nights I have stayed awake, looking wantingly at my computer across the room while I hold her, asleep in my arms.

No, and there seems to be no reasoning with her on this issue.

Get into the habit of going to sleep with her, but waking up early. Very early. You don't need more than 4-5 hours of sleep, even if you think so. Plus the early hours of the morning (4 o'clock onward) are silent, cool, and your brain is fastest after resting. Best creative hours.

Doesn't seem workable to me. I can't get into the zone as easily when I first wake up.

And yes, I do need more than 4-5 hours when I do it every single day, and I'll be working all day too.
