The late night thread

Why can’t you sleep ladies, what’s keeping you up?

meatballs37

The last few nights i have been awake at around 2 am and lay there for an hour or two. I always have good intentions to go to bed early and yet here I am. Is it too early for pregnancy insomnia? 

Who else cant sleep? What are you doing to remedy it? 

TJtheGoat

I don’t think it’s too early. I’m exhausted, but have so much trouble falling and staying asleep. There have been a few nights where I was literally about to cry like an overtired toddler.

Oh the pregnancy insomnia is so real. The other night I got up at 1:45. Never went back to sleep. This happened when I was pregnant with DD too. But back then I didn’t have a toddler to deal with all day 😑

meatballs37

@srscott3 so much this. The toddler all day thing is gonna make it challenging. 

srscott3

@meatballs37 she has so much energy. And it takes everything I have to just make her lunch and feed her 😩 really hoping for energy in second tri

fears, insecurities, and cramping. my DD and DS have been sleeping by 8 PM every night ( serious miracle) I wish I could fall asleep with them. 

allydsal

@TJtheGoat ditto

It’s it’s 1150pm. My toddler has been up 3 times already screaming since 8pm. I’m gonna be a zombie tomorrow.

So, this is normal?

I literally haven’t gotten out of my robe today.

@meatballs37 That was me yesterday. I felt like a slob, but it was nice to have a lazy day.

Decided I’d go to bed early last night bc I was exhausted...I went to bed maybe 30-60 minutes earlier and here I am. Been awake for an hour 🙄 I’m hungry and nauseous but don’t want to get up and eat. 

meatballs37

I’m awake early here. DH sat by DDs crib all night so that I could get sleep. But he had to leave for work at 5am. Poor DD is so so sick. And I think I’m getting it now too. I predict no sleep in this house for a good week.

I was up at 1 for about an hour and then again at 4 for another hour. I NEED to remember to take my magnesium tonight.

@meatballs37 I hope your wrong and you dont get it. And I hope DD feels better soon. 

bakerstreetboys

I already can't sleep either.  I usually crash pretty easily when I go to bed, but by 2am, I'm awake and can't get back to sleep.  My hips and legs ache, I'm worrying, making lists, peeing multiple times...so frustrating because I'm so exhausted.  This happens every time.

@meatballs37 How are DD and DH feeling today?

meatballs37

@bakerstreetboys do you have a heating pad? Those seem to be my saving grace for aches. Or a bath with magnesium salt.

DH went to work today. DD seems a little better, but I think I’m next. We are sitting and watching danial tiger on repeat. 

bakerstreetboys

@meatballs37 I love my heating pad and a hot bath, but I can't use either yet...IVF rules.

I hope you don't get sick!  Enjoy Daniel

meatballs37

@bakerstreetboys oh bummer! Well hopefully just a nice dose of acetaminophen then. 

nmbrcrnchr1

Thanks to a very vivid pregnancy/loss related nightmare I cannot sleep. Why does my mind have to go there!?! Today is going to be a long day

kjr9519

I’m up due to worrying. I slept 11 1/2 hours last night, took a nap, and was still tired last night, so I was hoping I was in the exhaustion phase and could sleep easily and for long periods of time. Guess worry kind of negates that all.

shamrocandroll

I'd be okay if it wasn't for the having to pee 4 times per night lately.  We went through a mini sleep regression with DS a week or so ago, but he seems to finally be going back to normal, and now I'm the one up 4x per night.  

@kjr9519 You slept 11 1/2 hours last night!?  I'm not sure that counts as trouble sleeping, haha.  Or was that a typo?

prpl11butterfly

+1 for terrible sleeping. I've been taking my magnesium since Thur and it had been helping. Until last night. Wide awake at 4am and either too hot or too cold. I wish I could drink more coffee....

bakerstreetboys

I'm never been a good sleeper, but pregnant me sucks at it.  I toss and turn because my brain can't stop worrying, my hips and back hurt, and I'm trying my best not to smother DH with a pillow because of his snoring.  It's super quiet snoring and I wear earplugs, but I can still hear it and it makes me twitchy just thinking about it....

shamrocandroll

@bakerstreetboys I can definitely sympathize with that.  Sharing a room with DS when he was a newborn made me hyper aware of every little sound, and now I have to have a fan going and earplugs in order to not wake up just from MH breathing loudly (he doesn't really snore).  The fan + earplugs do the trick, though.  Loud sounds like crying still wake me up, but I can sleep through the quieter noises.  

kjr9519

@shamrocandroll I just read back over my post from earlier and realized that I probably shouldn’t be posting at 4am 😣

I meant to say that I slept 11 1/2 hours Sunday night and it still wasn’t enough, so I thought I might have gotten to a point where I could sleep easily. Then Monday night, I barely got any sleep due to worrying.

I’m not sure if that’s any clearer. Honestly, I’m not 100% sure what I was trying to say.

luckystar28

Hoping to sleep better tonight. The Diclegis makes me so drowsy yet I still wake up and toss and turn! Wtf! Anyway, it’s 8:30pm here and the board is quiet. Where my west coast ladies at!? 

antera23

Hey @luckystar28! I’m here and awake. I hope you sleep better tonight! I didn’t get much sleep last night. My SO has a breathing machine. He rolls over in his sleep to cuddle and it makes his mask move ever so slightly. So then he snores AND the machine makes a ton of noise. I also seem to wake up a lot when I’m KU. 

Edit: because words 

allydsal

why did my morning sickness decide to carry over into over night sickness.. I'm nauseous 24/7 and rls make sleep impossible. I just play yahtzee till I'm zombified then jump outta bed at 6am for school bus schedules.
