Insomnia?

hales.21

The past 2 nights I've had HORRIBLE insomnia.  I maybe got 1 or 2 hours of sleep all night.  I went to bed at 9pm and tossed and turned until almost 3am.. then woke up at around 5am and was tossing and turning again - so I gave up and just got up.. and now I am just wide awake.  But I know I am going to pay for it this afternoon.

Anyone having this problem?  Do you know of anything that helps to get you to sleep better?

I had this problem in the beginning for a while, but it eventually went away, although now I'm 3-4 times a night peeing instead. I just tried reading, and making myself stay up a little later than I wanted (like 9:30!)

I know Tylenol PM is okay to take in 3rd tri, might ask your OB about taking some now

A warm bath and reading a good book usually helps me get to sleep

I have had the same problem.  Mostly though, I'm worried about work.  I know it isn't good for me or the baby, so I just lay there and really try and keep my mind clear until I fall asleep.  Other times if it is close to morning, I will just get up and start my day.  That way I'm extra tired by the next night.

I hope that you get some good sleep soon!

Thanks everyone!  I'm hoping that I am worn out by tonight because of getting no sleep - but I will definitely try a warm bath.
