I slept with both my babies for maybe two nights. Nights where I slept an hour or less because I would wake with every little sound they made. Then I put them in their own rooms, with a baby monitor set to a reasonable threshold.
I got a solid 3-4 hours a night. The babies got fed, cleaned, cuddled etc. Win-win.

This is a feature, not a bug. That attunement is what allows caregivers to avoid suffocating their child. It works when the caregiver is not under the influence or so exhausted they don’t wake up (which it sounds like in your case you were on the verge of that by only sleeping an hour or less, but I promise you after a week or so you adjust and sleep fine if not more a bit less deeply so you will react if anything is happening to the baby.
This goes away after a few days, it's explained in the Co-sleeping section of the course they should give you: your body is attuning to the baby.
That's also how you don't roll over them and how they wake up if it's too hot
