Why can't I sleep in?!

[Jenna1985]

it doesn't matter how hard I try I cannot sleep in, every day this week I have been up at 6:30am without an alarm. Today I had set my alarm for 6am....I woke up at 5!! I just want my sleep! Anyone else having a hard time getting a full nights rest?

Me!!!!!

I fall asleep at night with no problem but then I wake up without fail at 3 and then spend the next few hours awake. In always just about dozing off when my alarm goes off for work!

Yeah me!
Except I keep waking up and its always between 3.30 and 3.35.. So weird.
I always have a hard time gettin back to sleep aswell. X

Yep, I wake up at least twice in the night, normally around 1:45 and then again at 3:00-3:30.....it's horrid!

I'm having the complete opposite problem. I take ages to fall asleep, it's like my mind is going a million miles an hour! Up once or twice for bathroom visits then when the alarm goes off I'm like a zombie! Life would be so much easier if there was a standard set of pregnancy symptoms!

Me! wake-up gasping for water at 5 and then have to get up for work at 6

I was like this at first but it is getting a little better (or I am just so exhausted I cant resist sleeping in)...

I had this with my son and seem to be getting it again now. It's so frustrating. Then when he was born, even when he slept through the night, I couldn't get out of bed in the mornings. It killed me if I had to get up before 10am which, with a young baby, I generally had to. My whole body would ache from the tiredness but oh no, when you're pregnant, you're up bright and early, just when you need to make the most of it! Sods law I guess x

I usually wake up at least twice a night at 1:30 and 5am to go to the bathroom and sometimes take ages to get back to sleep. I think I could sleep later in the mornings, but LO or my alarm wakes me at 6:30.

I have this, too. Very annoying. Maybe nature's way of training us for when we have a newborn waking us at all hours of the night?

haha!! this sounds just like me. 6 weeks and cant sleep in.

sooo sleepy during the day its unreal, but every morning my work alarm is set for 6.30am but my body decides to wake me up at 5am every day.

come the weekend now, i turned my alarm off hoping for a lie in but nooo 6am...boom! wide awake!

I wake up 3-4 times a night either needing to pee or drink from my bedside water bottle.

It's driving me loco. OH notices too, makes him wake up. Sucks for both of us.
