Lonely nights

Alexinav

Anyone else gng crazy being alone at night? It takes forever for me to fall asleep and hubby knocks out by 9 at the latest. I get so restless and bummed out. I just want to be able to sleep like a normal person! Haha

I have been crazy with my sleep. I can't fall asleep at night for a long time and then up every 2 hours to pee. But after hubby goes to work (and I take the dogs out) then I can sleep for a few hours. Not sure how much is crazy preggo and how much is dh damn snoring.

Ugh my sleep schedule is so jacked. Tonight, MH has been crashed since 10p, it's approaching 1am and I'm WIDE awake. I hope to God that this shit doesn't continue after LO is here and I can enjoy my zzzzzz's at a decent time.

My husband is gone for 1-2 weeks at a time, so yes... It's super lonely around my house after DS goes to bed.

I have this problem too. He goes to sleep by 10 and I stay up till 1, then I keep sleeping after he goes to work, till at least 8 or 9. Sometimes I fall asleep in the evening before he gets home, which makes it even worse. I use the insomnia time to play on TB.

Exactly it's so frustrating! I mean I try and understand that he's not lazy he works really hard and on his days off he's still on the go because of all the plans I make up for us in my head but goodness I get so frustrated. My mood changes at night because I know I'm gng to be awake and have trouble sleeping, no bueno!

Alexinav

Oh man I can imagine being with out him for 1-2 weeks that would be too hard! I am so attached to him I get upset when his work schedule keeps him away from me from 11-8. I know I'm a big baby lol

I need to try tiring myself out that's a good idea taking the dogs for a walk

My solution to this is an iPad. I watch tv on it until I fall asleep. Then when DH wakes me up with his snores, so I pass the time by kicking him until he stops.

My H works nights so it's just the dogs and me after 9. My hypnobabies CDs usually knock me out but I still wake up really easily, either from my bladder or a bump or creak that sounds exactly like an ax-murderer creeping down the hall to my paranoid middle-of-the-night mind.

I feel your pain.  My most common mood swing is to get really needy, and if DH isn't around I tend to get upset

I have resorted to half a unisom. Otherwise it's unbearable...

My husband works until 12 midnight and doesn't get home until 2:30am! I'm home alone from the time I get home from work until then. I normally have trouble sleeping since I hate falling asleep being alone in the house but pregnancy has made it worse

My husband has been having weird dreams so he's been up on and off too but this not sleeping thing is getting old! I feel like I don't sleep even though I remember having a dream. My arms and legs always fall asleep and I have to pee like 3-4 times a night the last time is always like an hour before I have to get up then I'm wide awake and just when I fall asleep the alarm goes off.

I have to take Benadryl or I will toss and turn all night long

Yes! My DH falls asleep instantly and now our bed is super uncomfortable now that I'm getting bigger! I've been sleeping on our couch all alone for the past few nights. It's getting lonely.

Haven't seen DH since mid-Nov (he is deployed). My adjustment will be having to share the bed again, lol. It gets quiet when DS is in bed...but I am enjoying the "me time" while I have it since I know it's about to get scarce again.
