[Dopeyjopey]

I can't sleep alone

Does anyone have any tips?

no idea.. i can't sleep at all *hugs*

Let LO sleep with you? Lol. I do sometimes. I usually read until I fall asleep so I am distracted from all my lonely thoughts.

It may sound silly but I used to cuddle a pillow long way and still do sometimes!! Helped me

I have a hard time sleeping and wake up in the middle of the night. but i have started sleeping with tons of pillows (LO is not here yet) ... to help. i have pillows on each side so no matter where i turn something there to hug and grab onto. it is very hard tho at times

Yep i replaced my husband with a pregnancy pillow, still using it now 8 months later. i like having something to snuggle up too.

I used to struggle too... I just kind of 'forced' myself not to think about it

Ive been sleeping alone for months so I am used to it now. I hope the pillow works for you

I have Louie in with me

I'm telling you, reading till you fall asleep helps me tons. I just go right to sleep - no worries.

I have Albert in with me but I still just can't get to sleep. Maybe my mood isn't helping much either

I have so many male friends... I keep thinking I should ask them to stay so I'm not in bed on my own! They'd take it the wrong way though.

Aww
I'm really new to all this myself. My OH is in jail and it was sudden and really sucked. But you have to find what comforts you and makes you happy.

I think mood does affect it a lot. I still get nights where I cry myself to sleep because I hate being away from the man that I married (not the man he is now obviously) but others I quite enjoy curling up and drifting off.

I've been tempted asking one of my friends to stay but like you, I know they'd think it was more of an invite than intended! I need to find a Louie Spence type to sleep in bed with me... Although seeing how much energy he has, I'm not sure he does sleep a lot!

I'm pretty manic at the minute so my brain just won't turn off.

Some of them, I wouldn't mind if they got the wrong idea, I'm just scared they'd turn the offer down! A book will have to do!

I hated it at first but FOB never stayed with me for months anyway so when we split it was just normal like nothing had changed only he wasnt there from 6pm til 8pm. Whats two hours?

I really hope that feeling goes soon. I like to read in bed.

I sometimes lie there awake thinking to much crap, and other times a dvd and i just nod off... i think its the worse part, once LO is asleep im down stairs lonely and bored... but i do share my bed with my dog and kitten

try a pillow though cos that does help alot... x

Put the tv on something really boring and set the sleeper for it to cut off.
