Has anyone else had trouble sleeping lately? I am not sure what it is but I wake up between 2am and 4am daily and cant fall back to sleep.. I just got one of those body pillows to see if that will help but if anyone has suggestions im open!!
I toss and turn multiple times a night. The pillow only sort of helps. I carry all of my stress in my upper left shoulder, so when I get up, I do stretches for my back (primarily just bending over and touching ground and slowly getting back up) and for the shoulder nerve. It's tough!
March Siggy Challenge .. What I miss the most during pregnancy
I've been having a lot of trouble. I used to be able to wake up in the middle of the night and fall right back asleep. Now, when I wake up, I can't get back to sleep at all. Unfortunately, I haven't found any good remedies. But, you are not alone
I used to sleep like a rock all night long... now I wake up about twice during the night because I'm uncomfortable...usually because I need to pee... luckily I fall back to sleep immediately afterward.
I am up to pee 2-4 times a night. Most times I can go back to sleep but last night ended up in a 2.5 hour fbing session because I couldn't fall back to sleep. I have a feeling it is just going to get worse.
Benadryl when I'm super stuffy has helped me get a night of peaceful sleep, and I've gone back to using ear plugs (will obviously have to go one LO is born) to keep DH's snoring out.
But. When I sleep, I SLEEP. For example last night I slept on a heater pad (back is killing me) and ended up waking up to burns on my hips. Like blisters from being in the same position on the heater too long. And I slept right through it. Wtf?!
I've been waking up up to 5 times a night to pee!!! Ughhhh sooo fustrating bc I'm sleeping soo comfortable! So my mom adviced me to not drink anything 2 hrs before going to bed. I listened, and I sleep like a baby with my body pillow. I just hug it with my legs, tuck it under my belly, w my arm under it.. And it feels wonderful.. I do turn couple times a a night, but nothing uncomfortable.. Used to have hip pain and back pain, but I guess I found my way around it
I have been waking up almost every hour each night that I don't take Benadryl. If I take the Benadryl around 9 then I have slept for multiple hours and only wake up to pee once or twice a night (which was my normal sleeping pattern before being pg), and I'm not a zombie when I wake up. If I take the Benadryl later than that its zombie time for this drowsy non-morning person over here!
This! I don't sleep. I toss and turn and DH snores like an apache helicopter so once I'm up, I'm up. I have to take Benadryl in order to get anything over two hours.

So yeah, turning that down tonight.

Between peeing, night sweats and LO kicking me awake...well it's just something I'm dealing with (mostly with naps)
