insomnia!!

[Googiepie]

Ugh. It's driving me crazy. Fall asleep at 10 pm, wake up at 1 am and now it's only 4am and I can't sleep! This is driving me crazy.

I'm sorry. I'm in the same boat. It sucks and I have no remedy for you u fortunately. Just letting you know you have company.

 

[Daisypetals]

Yep! Me too- fell asleep at 11:30, woke up at 2 am and up until 5 am. I am thankful I am on maternity leave now, because before when this happened I would also have a full day of work from 7-5 to face.

My new time to wake up is 2:30am. Before it was 3:30 or 4:30.

I've been dealing with insomnia all pregnancy, but it seems like a different kind each trimester.

I can fall asleep on the sofa at 9 wake up and go to bed properly and then not sleep. Plus if I get up to one of my older kids it then takes me over an hour to get back to sleep again. I can't bear the thought of it going on much longer

I'm in a similar boat, waking at night and taking ages to fall back to sleep.. Then one/both kids are usually up for the day at 6am

Banana peal tea helps me But when I don't have any I really suffer - or on the particularly painful nights where the tea can't cut through enough.

I'm jumping in this thread in case some remedies are posted! I'm in the same boat. I fell asleep right away last night (as I always do), but woke up a few hours later and stayed awake. I get leg craps - I had one last night that was so bad I can barely put weight on the leg today - hip cramps, etc, and it's a lost cause at this point.

Bananna peal tea is great for this! That is why I mostly started drinking it. (of course ask your doctor or do your own research to make sure it is safe durring pregnancy......)

 

[carmela88]

Me too! I want to tear my hair out and it's getting me down! Wake up around 2-3am and that's me. Won't be the case when baby is born, I will want to sleep all the time! Any ideas or remedies will be greatly appreciated.

I just cant get to sleep. Unless I fall asleep in the middle of the day its not until 4ish and if I do nap during the day there's no chance I'm sleeping until the next day. I think with me being off work my mind is just not tired enough and with being so bog now I cant get comfy enough either. Oh well.. all good practice I suppose lol

 

[Googiepie]

I slept through the night!! Yay! Let's hope it lasts. My hips are killing me though.

 

[Diana3]

Same here! I keep waking up and can't find a comfortable position and my hips are killing me also. Then I'm like a zombie at work. Ugh. Two more months to go.

 

[Perplexed]

If I wake up to use the toilet it pretty much wakes me up "properly" and I stay up for hours. My daughter also wakes up sometimes and often she goes back to sleep within 30 mins while I stay awake for an hour or so more. Although I'm a stay at home mom, I just don't get to sleep during the day to make up. So exhausted!

 

[mod19]

My Dr told me Tylenol pm is OK to take, but I'd just rather not. Evil, evil way of our bodies preparing us for the impending outcome to all this I say!

 

[BlingyGal]

It's 3am and I just woke up...thought I'd check this thread for remedies...

Just took a Tums, acid reflux is bad tonight!

My doc told me Benadryl was fine, and I took one maybe 2x per week.

When I developed a PUPPPs rash last week, the Benadryl didn't work at all anymore.
