No sleep but so sleepy.

vikisheena · September 2010

Hi all of you. So I am really tired all day at work and when I get home all I can do is lie on the sofa and get my other half to cook my dinner. Then when it comes to bedtime...I can't sleep. Is this normal? I hope it doesn't continue as I will be shattered in a few weeks.

I've had all I could do to make it past 6-7 hours of sleep. Before I was PG no problem sleeping 11 hours! I hope this soon passes.

I think this is totally normal. I've been having the problem where I have trouble staying asleep. I called my dr yesterday and she said I could take a benedryl maybe once or twice a week to help me sleep. I did it last night, and whoa, it made a huge difference!

I was like that at first(with our first one and this one. Now, I am 7 weeks 6 days and the actual sleep is starting to kick in.

I am falling asleep but waking up at ridiculously early hours. So yeah, lack of sleep mixed with exhaustion is normal. Lucky us! Stick out tongue

This has been my experience as well.

I've been going to sleep at 9:00 for the past couple nights because I'm exhausted, but then I wake up at 2:30am like clock work and don't really sleep well at all the rest of the night. My body only seems to want 5-6 hours of sleep for the past couple weeks.

I usually have NO problem sleeping while PG (until the 3rd tri, but that's a different set of issues), but I'm finding it impossible to stay asleep past 4 or 5am this time around, which sucks! I'm in bed usually around 9pm, 11:30pm at the latest if I'm working late and no matter how early/late I'm in bed, I start tossing and turning around 4 and there's no hope by 5am, despite the fact that I still feel exhausted.

I have been in the same boat! Fortunately the last two nights, I actually slept 8 hrs. SO NICE!

This is me, too...I thought I was crazy!

Totally normal. Even before getting my BFP I was waking up at 5 or 6 am (usually get up at 8 or later depending on the day's scheduled) and was unable to get back to sleep. It just keeps getting worse too. I am convinced these babies are trying to make me nocturnal.
