Insomnia

[Bluewings]

I thought insomnia was a 2nd or 3rd trimester thing. It's nearly 3AM and I can't sleep!

My problem is I wake up in the early hours, like 3/4am, then can't get back to sleep! And it's not like I go to bed super early - I usually head through about 10.30! Xx

Yup I wake up at 2am and there's just no getting back to sleep, frustrating

I'm the same. The other night I woke at 2 and didn't get back to sleep till 5. I wouldn't mind if I could sleep in the day.

Omg so glad I'm not the only one experiencing this! Its awful isn't it?! For the past two weeks I've been waking up between 4 and 430 am....but going to bed around nine, so not to to bad. But today, went to bed at ten and up wide awake at 2 am....I thought we are supposed to be exhausted all the time and able to sleep forever during the first trimester?!

I had horrible insomnia prior to getting pregnant, then once I got preg I was actually sleeping quite well. Now that Ive lost all symptoms, Im heading back to the insomnia crap again. Boo!!

Mine is more that I can't fall asleep til 2-3 even if I'm in bed by 9. Then I sleep and have to get up at 6-7 because of DD. AAAHHHHHH

I'm getting this too! I wake about 3-4am and cannot get back to sleep! this is pretty much my only symptom apart from slightly tender boobs! xxx

This might sound a bit odd but have you tried going to bed oy when you're absolutely shattered a d ready to sleep? I had some stress related sleep disturbance along the same pattern and my doc suggested I try that. It worked a treat - when I went to be I was actually totally ready to sleep and managed a full 8 hours xx

No because when in exhausted its 7PM and my daughter isn't in bed by then yet! Hubby works nights so I can't leave it to him either :-/

I'm the same, wake up at around 3ish and can't get back to sleep. Well... Actually, I do.. I start to doze off just before my alarm for work goes off!! I even mentioned it to my GP, he said there's nothing they can suggest.

that sounds rotten hun

What about a yoga class/book? The breathing techniques are meant to be awesome for relaxation.

My prob I think is that my mind is so full of stuff, it keeps me awake. If its not work related, it's pg worries! Xx

The last two nights are the first time I've slept more than 4 hours in weeks

 

[cammy]

I haven't been able to get to sleep until past midnight and then I can't go back to sleep when I wake up in the early hours of the morning. So frustrating.

 

[mercedybear]

I have not slept for more than 4 hours a night for the past 2 weeks as well!! I go to bed at 10pm and lay there till 1 am, fall asleep on and off ( then I have to get up for the bathroom!) and fall into a deep sleep from 5am to 6:45am , then my alarm goes off!! My work is suffering and I am miserable

 

[Bluewings]

That sounds about like me, mercedybear! Except I am a SAHM, lol. However we have a special needs child so I have to take our kid to a lot of therapies and appointments. I come in like I need a nap in the lobby LOL
