Waking up way to early...

rregneir · February 2010

I go the BFP on friday, and ever since I have been waking up really early (well for me). Twice it was at 630am and this morning at 430am! I am wide awake and it takes me for ever the fall back asleep! I find this very strange because being PG has made me very tired! Is this me or has anyone else had this too?

This happens to me too. I'm usually a pretty good sleeper, and if something does wake me up I usually go right back to sleep, but I seem to be having problems sleeping right now. Our neighbors downstairs had a huge argument last night that woke me up and it took me an hour to fall back asleep. I'm not sure if it's hormones or my mind racing, but I've heard that it's normal to have trouble sleeping.

I have had problems sleeping even though I am tired. I have woken up many times in the middle of the night or early in the morning. And it is so hard to get back to sleep!

Sleeping problems here too. I have woken up at 5:29 exactly for the past 3 or 4 mornings. I have problems falling asleep at night too.

I'm a sleeper! I love it. Since being PG, I am so tired and fall asleep really early on the couch. I end up waking up eight hours later- and cannot go back to sleep. Before, I would be able to sleep a couple extra hours if I accidentally fell asleep too early. 8 hours isn't a bad deal, it's just very interesting that now I cannot sleep past it!

Me too. I found out Friday too and I haven't been able to sleep much. I woke up last night at 2:30 a.m. after falling asleep at 9 and I was starving. I got up and ate a cookie. I didn't fall back to sleep for an hour and then kept waking up every 20 min or so the rest of the night.

I have no problem getting to sleep at night, and not even really early at all (yet) but i keep waking up early, usually between 4:30 and 5:30 and i cant get back to sleep! ugh....

It's so funny that I've been having this same trouble since my BFP 4 weeks ago, and hadn't really thought twice about it. I also am experiencing the evening fatigue, falling asleep on the couch, then go to bed and sometimes can't go to sleep. Or even if I do go to sleep fine, I not only wake up MANY times to pee (seem to be VERY thirsty in the evening, can't drink enough water), but I have been waking up between 4:30 and 6 almost every day. This weekend, I broke down and took Benadryl in the middle of the night to allow me to sleep in...it's been great! Hope it gets better, but have a feeling it might not. :-(

Me too! I'm dead tired all the time, yet I wake up inexplicably in the early morning hours and can't get back to sleep! Good luck, I have no cure for this.

I wasn't able to sleep through the night at all between weeks 6 and 11... my doc said that tylenol pm and benadryl were both safe to take to help you sleep.

I am having this problem too. I normally get up around 6am and I am now waking up at 3:30am, 4am etc? I am also having trouble staying asleep and getting back to sleep once I wake up.

I wake up at 3:00 am every morning to pee. ?I can usually fall back asleep, but its still a bit of a pain. ?Hang in there and congrats!

rregneir · February 2010

wow! thanks everyone! happy to hear I'm not the only one with this situation!

agrundman · February 2010

Me too! I woke up at 3:30 this morning. What I've started doing is showering and straightening my hair. By that time I'm ready to lay back down and usually have about two hours to nap before I have to get up and finish getting ready for work. It's annoying, but I'd rather do that than toss and turn and just be falling back to sleep when the alarm goes off.
