Sleep & Energy Levels

GrangerWifey · June 2012

What are your energy levels and sleep patterns like ladies? I felt a little groggy last night for the first time but other than that, I've felt pretty normal energy-wise.

However, I've been waking up between 1-1.5 hours before my alarm every morning unable to fall back asleep! I usually lay there for a little while and then eventually get up and do things (HW yesterday, weeding my garden today). Guess I'll take advantage of it if while I can! Anyone else doing this or am I the only crazy? Wink

I'm doing the exact same thing! I've been waking up a few hours before Colby wakes me up and then I can't go back to sleep. I'm so tired in the evenings that you'd think I'd sleep in as much as possible!

I haven't been too sleepy, but by the time I get home from work the tierdness kicks in. Sleep hasn't been going so well, with the exception of Wednesday night, I have been waking up between 3 and 4 in the morning and find it so hard to fall back asleep. My mind starts going crazy and it just doesn't stop. =/

I've been sleepy in the afternoons for the past week or so. At night I'm ready to go to bed at about 8! I've cut back on a lot of caffeine so I am sure that is the partial reason. I sleep pretty well though, I just hope I'm not a zombie these next few weeks.

My first pregnancy was a surprise. I was beyond exhausted for the first two weeks (week 3 and 4) that I honestly though I was getting depressed. All I wanted to do was sleep! Once I found out I was pregnant, it made a lot more sense!

I've been sleeping fairly well, just a lot of waking up during the night but I fall back asleep quickly. Energy wise I'm ok until about 7pm then I can't stop yawning and want to just pass out.

I've been okay, but I have the luxury of a teacher's summer schedule (er, no schedule), so I've been able to get as much sleep as I want. I've been exercising regularly, and I definitely feel like I have more energy afterward.

I have days where I feel great and other days (like Monday and Tuesday) where I feel like I got hit by a bus. I took a 1.5 hour nap on Monday in the middle of the day! I never do that!

I am finding that I have to get up and pee A LOT more in the middle of the night. I'm usually a once a nighter, but lately it's been 2 or 3 times I'm up and peeing

Also, being constipated/gassy really disrupts my sleep at night. It's hard to get comfortable when you feel like an overinflated balloon. Embarrassed

Yep, 6:30-7 seems to be when it hits me. I got a little sleepy at my desk around lunch the other day too. I felt like I could just lay down and take a cat nap.

I am not a morning person and lately I've been waking up early and I think about getting up and making waffles and sausage ??...(every morning for the last week). but I never do I usually just lay there or get up and clean... I'm actually enjoying it because I fall asleep much earlier now and feel so much better getting up before my alarm goes off.

I've finally got my kid to stay in her crib until 6 but I wake at 5! Not sure if it's because I'm used to her being up by 5:30 or whether it's the pregnancy. I'm exhausted in the afternoons, I try to nap when she does but then I'm so lethargic all afternoon!

I have not been sleeping well even though I'm tired at night. I'm a teacher so I at least get to take naps since I'm not working now. When H wakes up at about 6:30 I feel wide awake.

All of this is me too!

MoreThanABride · June 2012

Ugh, I am tired all day, but can't sleep either. I'm not tired in the evenings, so I stay up late and then wake up at like 4. I'm glad I'm not the only one.

theLeenie · June 2012

I could've written this post minus the productive part. Since I found out, I've been sleeping horrible! It could be due to not doing much during the day and not being tired enough to sleep, but I toss and turn all night and then wake up around 5. I also pee 4-5 times, which was NEVER how I used to be.

I am definitely not sleeping as well at night. The last few nights I have noticed that I am waking up a few times. I fall back asleep, but I feel like I am not sleeping as sounding. I am not super tired yet, but I have dozed a few times in the evening while reading or watching tv.
