Sleep?

How is everyone sleeping??

  I have been sleeping like crud for the past week. I have such vivid dreams and I have been sleepwalking in our bedroom. So, I keep waking up like 6-7 times per nite. It is awful. I am just exhausted. I just want to sleep. (and I can't fall asleep for like an hour or 2)

 

Is anyone else having issues with sleeping and being exhausted?

Re: Sleep?

  • I have been the opposite.  I can't get enough sleep!  Which is weird because I have suffered from insomnia off and on for the last couple of years.  But I did read that insomnia can be a symptom of pregnancy!  You can take tylenol pm, unisom, and benadryl.   It is safe to take during pregnancy.

  • I am tired all the time. It's ridiculous. I can barely keep my eyes open now and its only 1130 in the morning!

    I sleep okay for the most part, but have to get up a couple times to go to the bathroom.

  • I usually wake up at 5 am now - generally just to go pee and then back to bed but occasionally can't fall back asleep.  Other than that, I'm tired all the time and I fall asleep on the couch frequently and catch myself falling asleep at my desk all the time.  I can't wait to get some energy back.
  • I've been ok so far, but with DS I had a lot of pregnancy insomnia.  It SUCKED.  I ended up taking unisom so I could stay asleep.  I'm not into taking a lot of medication, but honestly, it got to the point where I was going crazy. 

    Note - I'm pretty sure it is unisom that is safe, but don't take my word for it.

  • Sleep, shmeep!  That is a thing of my past.  I wake up constantly to pee or just wide awake for no reason.  Last night I woke up at 2:30 , couldn't sleep at all.  Needless to say, thank god for Lifetime.

  • I did well for some time with sleep. And naps. Took 2 hour naps every day over the long weekend.  But last night I slept like crap. Same as OP - woke up every few hours, had super vivid dreams. My friend suggested eating a saltine or two when i wake up each time. Not sure if it'd help but I guess I'll try it tonight.

     

  • Me!! I try to fall asleep but I can't. I know I am tired as I am yawning constantly but my entire body hurts, so I cannot get comfortable and when I do, I wake up 2 hours later to go to the bathroom, then I cannot fall back asleep due to waking up and body aches... its a horrible cycle.

  • I am sleeping better than ever before, I can't get enough sleep and I end up going to bed really early every night. I wish I could sleep in more.
  • I'm tired all the time and when I nap...I couldn't ask for better sleep. However, at night...I'm not sleeping so well. I get up so many times to got the bathroom...then I''ve been worried as I have to wait until the 21st for my ultrasound.
