I am ALWAYS tired. The moment DS takes his nap I sit on the couch and try to fold laundry and pass out on it. I cuddle with DH on the couch and pass out. I can't get enough sleep. But at night I go to my nice comfy bed and suddenly can't sleep. Instead I lay awake thinking about things. And not important things, super random stuff.

Last night I thought about this

   -What should my son be for Halloween

   -I think it is nice for kids to have room to roam

   -Why is is ok for dogs to pee on trees but not kids? 

   -I should take my son to the park tomorrow.

   -It is hot but I don't like sleeping without a blanket. Why is that?

   - DH needs a hair cut

   -My hair makes me hot. I should stuff it all above my head

   -Wouldn't it be cool to have a ball pit...but full of pillows...

 

I mean if I was on the couch trying to stay awake I would have fallen asleep in two seconds. In bed trying to sleep it takes me FORVER! Anyone else?

I sleep really really good in bed but I have to say I seriously LOL-ed at your random thoughts....you should write a book of these! hahaha

I have this problem too, but I had trouble sleeping even before I got pregnant so I've learned to deal with it. :- Definitely frustrating though!

I'm the same!

ha ha. Yup that's me too.

Last week I woke up my DH, who falls asleep super quick, and asked him what we'd do if the baby got covered in peanut butter. (very random thought process)

I trouble sleeping too! I can sleep for hours straight when I'm not trying to, but at night the longest I can sleep is about an hour. I wake up each day completely exhausted.

That is me all the time. We were out late last night and I was exhausted but couldn't fall asleep and then work up at 6 when I didn't have to be up till 8. Then today on the way home I fell asleep in the car. My head goes through random thoughts too and it drives me crazy.

DH gives me grief all the time because I seriously can't even make it through a movie on the couch anymore... I always pass out. It's sad really. That's not to say that I don't sleep in bed, because I'm usually asleep before he even gets to the bed, but I do wake up in the middle of the night for an hour or two.
