Anyone else up at 4am?!

Piper2009 · November 2011

Starting last Monday (2 days before I even got a BFP), I have been up at 4am... WIDE AWAKE! I have not really been able to fall back asleep. Yesterday I was so excited to sleep in... no plans, so I could have slept in as late as I wanted. I was wide awake at 4:30am! The weird thing is that I feel so tired throughout the day and I have no problem falling asleep at night. So why am I waking up SO EARLY?!?

I've noticed several of you have mentioned "restless sleep." I don't really have that problem - I will sleep soundly up until 4am or so.

This happened to me today! I woke up around 4am to use the bathroom and then couldn't fall back asleep until almost 5am. So annoying. This hasn't happened before, but it was really annoying, especially on a Monday.

ME ME!! I was actually up at 3:15am and never went back to sleep and LO woke up at 7:30 so today should be a fun day. Never fails when I wake to pee around 3 I can never go back to sleep. You are not alone. I was like that with DD but it did pass after the first few weeks.

I am so glad to read this. I haven't been waking up quite that early, but definitely earlier than usual. Last weekend, when I could have and usually would have slept until about 8:30 or 9 I've been up between 6-7:30. And I always need a nap at some point during the day.

Yes! It's more like 6 am for me, but yes. Totally wide awake and lay there forever before falling back asleep.

That happened to me for about a week after finding out I was pregnant. I chocked it up to anxiety about everything. Fortunately it stopped and I don't really have that problem anymore. Now I just have to get up to pee!

Yes. Saturday night was the first time in about 2 or 3 weeks I have slept more than about 4-5 hours! I'm falling asleep in the living room at about 8, forcing myself to stay awake until 9 or 9:30, sleeping like a rock, then waking up at 2:30 or so and staying awake anywhere from an hour to the rest of the day.

One second I'm sleeping and dreaming, the next I'm totally awake & ready to go do something. So frustrating! Saturday night I fell asleep about 9:30, and even though I woke up twice to pee and drink some water, I fell right back to sleep and slept until 8am!!!

Then, last night, back awake for a few hours in the middle of the night... sigh...

I was going to make a post about this too Smile

I've been waking up early for the past week, but more like 5 or 5:30 (alarm doesn't go until 6:20, ARG!). Hope this goes away, as I'd like to enjoy my sleep for the next couple months before I get too big to be comfortable and then DeutschBaby's here waking me up at all hours Stick out tongue

Me too!

I typically wake up anywhere between 3:30 and 4:30 to go to the bathroom. Getting back to sleep after that is typically a crap shoot. Sometimes I have no problems getting back to sleep, other times I'm up for the day. It is annoying!

YES!!! Since one day prior to my BFP I have been waking up between 3:30-4...today I got to sleep in.....to 4:15! Woohoo!

I've had 3 nights in the past week where I woke up at around 3AM and couldn't fall back asleep for at least an hr. It's not even that I wake up cus I have to pee (but I do since I can't fall back asleep). It's very annoying cus I get SO cranky when I don't get my sleep!
