exhausted and ready for sleep

js10082011

I was exhausted the first 5 months of pregnancy due to no sleep and then miraculously when I hit 6 months, I was sleeping through the night! Plus I got that wonderful burst of energy; however, it's reverted back to how it was before. I only had 2 blissful weeks of sleeping through the night and I can't go back to how it was in the beginning, I'm a teacher and every little bit of sleep is needed. Any suggestions other than taking benadryl every night?

apparently putting lavender (essential oil or whatever) on the underside of your pillow helps i havent tried it myself but a lady at work said it helps

I'm having the same problem. My body seems to think that 5 hours is enough sleep. I don't agree but I work at overnight and have kids that I have to drop at school and pick them up, so there isn't anytime to make up the sleep. Good luck

My body seems to think two hours at a time is enough - followed by me being up for the next two hours. Hope it passes. My OB suggested meditation of breathing exercises when I'm wired and can't fall back asleep. Good luck!
