How do you cope with sleep regression??

We're in the midst of intense sleep regression with lots of night waking sometimes for periods of up to 3 hours.
I feel pretty well equipped with info on how to try and support my LO through this, but my question is how do YOU cope with it in the moment?
We're doing all the usual stuff eg. Trying to catch up if she naps in the day etc. What I'm struggling with though is managing my own feelings of frustration in the moment. If it was me that couldn't sleep I feel that I could cope by accepting that I can't sleep and sticking the tv on, reading a book etc. It just feels like torture when you're in a situation where baby isn't sleeping but you can't just accept it and do something pleasant to try and get through it! It's just hours of rocking in the dark driving myself slightly mad 😂
Any tips???

I wouldn’t stand for hours rocking in the dark, I’d try for maybe 30 mins to get back to sleep and then I’d go downstairs and put the tv on. Let her tire herself out again and then go back upstairs. Or just play in her room. Which regression is it?
