Ugh... can't sleep!

I was so tired today that I took a 3 hour nap (lasted that long bc I just didn't wake up) and woke up with a headache. It felt like an overheated/sinus headache so I took some tylenol and Sudafed and started making dinner since moving around helps. I was feeling much better but still exhausted so I took a shower hoping to finish clearing out my sinuses and crawled into bed at 8:30. DH finally came to bed around 9 and we turned off the lights by 9:30.

Then it all hit... The headache came back full force and even moved to the sides and back of my head. My back started hurting so I put some Tiger Balm on it to soothe the muscles. One thing after another... My ribs on my left side started hurting, I suddenly had to pee, I got extremely nauseous and I started getting hot AND cold flashes. WTH!? I'm just so exhausted and know that everything would just go away if I could just fall asleep!

I am now out on the couch drinking coffee (yes caff) trying to help the blood thin out a bit and get pain meds to my head. I figured since I can't sleep anyways, the caff won't hurt. Lol Anyways, vent over... And I want to add, I have a new appreciation for all the moms and moms-to-be out there! I hope everyone else is sleeping better than me tonight!

I have been having the worst time sleeping at night but, no problems napping. I have been waking up almost every hour the past few nights. It sucks because its always the night before I have to wake up at 5:30 am. Waking up that early is already hard enough so to add not sleeping isnt helping. I also get headached if I take a nap to long or I wake up feeling very quesy. I guess this is just our bodies changing?

Yeah, I talked to my sister today about it and she said it is just something that happens and that you have to get used to (unless it gets super severe, then talk to Dr).

I am waking up every 2-4 hours every single night! I can't get comfortable when I'm trying to sleep. Then the next day, I'm exhausted and have no energy to do anything! I end up taking a 3-4hr nap in the afternoon on the couch and it's the best sleep ever! I go to bed tired, but can't sleep well at all! Unfortunately, until this passes, I may have to resign myself to sleeping on the couch because it's the only place I can get a good sleep right now...
