It's 3AM and I'm wide awake.

JumpAroundBucky · October 2012

I woke up in a panic thinking of all the things we have to get done before baby gets here and couldn't push it out of my mind. Now it's 3:00 and I am up for the day. I guess there's no better time to research cribs!

Has anyone else had difficulty sleeping lately? How do you cope?

Yep, right there with you. I have been up for about two hours now. Just catching up with posts on here. :-(

Yes, I was up for 2 hours in the middle of the night. I just read or get a drink of water. Usually I fall back asleep. It is very frustrating!

Last week I was wide awake at 2:45am....I actually went to sleep pretty early that night, so hopefully that will happen for you too!

I haven't been waking up early like that, but the last two nights I have had vivid dreams for what seems like hours. I also have been more restless than usual. I think I am having a hard time getting comfortable in bed. No fun, especially since we are only going to get bigger from here on out!

DD's the one having trouble sleeping, up every hour on the hour until 1, then a few hour reprieve before DH just brought her into our bed at 5.

Give me one night without a baby in the house and I'll sleep like the dead!

That was me for the longest time. My OB said to get up and have a small snack like a granola bar or crackers, she said that waking in the middle of the night 9/10 can be fixed with food!

Lately I seem to be waking up around 3:30 every night with sore hips. Doesn't matter if I stick a pillow between my legs or not. Sometimes the pillow actually makes it WORSE. Moving to my back makes it better, but obviously at this point I don't want to stay on my back for any length of time, so usually I end up propping myself in this weird position mid-way between side and back, with my back and hips on a 45 degree angle against the mattress. It's a bit awkward, but it works!

But oddly enough, for as much as a worrier as I am, I haven't woken up worried in the middle of the night. I worry plenty during the day. ;-)

I went through a phase where I'd wake up in the middle of the night and be up for hours. My son is transitioning to a toddler bed, so he is usually up at least once at night. If it's not him, I wake up having to pee. I have found that if I don't turn any lights on, I can get back to sleep much easier. If I can't sleep, I watch tv or some other mindless task.

Yep I find myself waking in the middle of the night at the same time every night, not sure what for but I do, which leaves me extremely tired the rest of the day lol.

I don't tend to stay up for long periods of time, but I have a hard time staying asleep. I feel like I wake up so many times during the night.
