sleeping patterns

I fell like my sleeping patterns are changing.  I could not get to sleep last night until 1:30 am.  Then I had to pee every hour.  My husband woke up at 5 am and I could not fall back to sleep, so I did a few things around the house.  Took a nap at 9:30 am and was woken up by the phone at 1:30 pm.  Now I am afraid that because I slept most of the day it is going to be a problem tonight.  Anyone else having this?

Re: sleeping patterns

  • Yes. My advice is to just go with it, as soon you won't even know when it's day and when it's night, ha!

  • This sounds like me! I'm even changing places as to where I sleep throughout the night. I start out in bed with my husband then I end up on the couch, then the guest bed, lol...It also doesn't help that I'm an RN and work nights 3 days a week!! Only 2 more days left of work tho!! Good luck hopefully it will get better!

  • Sometimes I wake up every 3 hours but mostly it has been every 1-2 hours! I have to take a long nap during the day to make up for the lost time and then do the same night routine over again. Just getting ready for the baby who will keep us up pretty soon!!!

  • Thank goodness I am out of work now.  I couldn't work and get this little amount of sleep...lol
  • I am waking up pretty much every hour on the hour from about midnight on.  I am also still working (trying to go until the last possible minute) but it's HARD because I'm so tired by the afternoon.  I also get up at 5 a.m., so I've been working on about 3 hours a night.  I guess it's all nature's way of getting us ready but it does blow.

  • I am having the same problems. I can't usually fall asleep until 12 or 1 and I am up by 3. I usually have to get up at 3 for a bit or I toss and turn. then I pretty much wake up every hour until 7 when dh goes to work. I often sleep during the day but try not to in hopes I will sleep better at night. complicated!

  • Have any of you tried getting a nice long walk in after dinner?  I still get up to pee about 3 times a night but since i started walking every day I fall right back to sleep and sleep well.

  • I did the same exact thing... I would be on tb posting every night around 3am haha, I haven't posted much lately because I've actually been sleeping again! Yay! I was exactly like you, then after a couple days of that, I couldn't fall asleep at all during the night, but as soon as 6:30am rolled around I would crash and sleep soundly until about 1:00pm. It slowly started to go back to normal after a about 2 weeks and last night was my 3rd night in a row of sleeping normal! Bed between 9:30 and 11:30pm and awake around 8! Normally if I pee right before I fall asleep, I don't have to wake up until 4:30-5ish and then I go back to sleep and go again right when I wake up... so far pee breaks haven't been much of a problem...

  • Last night was worse then the night before.  I think I might have got 45 minutes of sleep all night.  Granted I have had a lot on my mind.  My cat needs to get teeth extracted and we had to come up with close to $300 right away.  All that on top of me stopping work just made it hard to come up with that money.  We thought we would have more time but now he is not eating and his mouth is swollen  :(  Well we finally got the appointment and got all the money together so hopefully tonight I get a good nights sleep without worrying about my poor cat.
  • Now I just hope I don't go into labor before getting my cat to the vet on Tuesday.
