for the past few weeks i have had the worst luck with sleeping. i fall asleep early because i am so drained. but i haven't been able to stay asleep. i wish i could blame it on having to pee every 20 minutes but its just not the case. i can't seem to stay in a comfortable position. i've tried everything and all i do is toss and turn and was curious if other women are having these problems as well and might have a few ideas to fix this major problem
Re: can't sleep
I really struggle with this too.
If I have a nap or two during the day, then I can't sleep at night. If I have no nap, I get more nauseas and get incredible heartburn when trying to go to sleep, and since I take my pills at night, I usually vomit them and then it takes an hour to settle down and get real sleep.
I know DH hates it but putting the tv on, volume low, and curling up on the couch usually works for me. I fall asleep somehow and then wake up a few hours later, and usually am groggy enough that I can just get up and then slip into bed. It's just better than tossing and turning and keeping him awake since he works long hours to provide for us.
Some people read before bed or have a warm cup of milk. I've tried a half of gravol (a motion-sickness pill that usually makes me sleepy and is safe) or eat something starchy like a piece of bread or crackers.
Good luck! We're all insomniacs together!
