SLEEP Issues

in 2nd Trimester
Hi Ladies, I know that in the third tri, we are going to be unable to sleep due to being large, uncomfortable, etc. But is anyone else already having sleep issues? I seem to wake up every 90 minutes or so -- typically at the tail end of some crazy dream. Then have difficulty falling back asleep. And unlike in the first tri, when I could literally have just slept 20 hours a day, now when I wake up in the morning, no matter what time I go to bed I am AWAKE and can't fall back asleep. Went to a friend's bday party on Saturday night and was up until after 1 am but popped out of bed at 6 am unable to sleep. And the peeing every hour or two certainly is not helping with the whole sleep thing. Its totally manageable but seeing as I am only 17 weeks, I am scared of what is to come...

    I also seem to wake up at the end of crazy dreams (and man, there are some doozies!)  I tend to have a hard time getting to sleep most nights, even though like last night I was exhausted and ready for bed by 8:00 PM!  According to my Fitbit, it still took me 55 minutes to actually fall asleep.   :(  In the mornings I am (currently) still pretty tired so waking up early and staying awake hasn't been a problem, yet, though I'm sure that can change.  I've always had trouble with sleep though so none of this surprises me.

    I don't even know what sleep is.  Between insomnia and a 2 yr old who has learned how to escape his bedroom in the middle of the night, there is no sleep. 
    You are not alone.

    Yes! I cannot get comfortable. I'm a stomach sleeper so having to move to sleeping on my side has been a challenge. I'm trying pillows around my stomach, between my knees- it's not really working! Between that and having to use the bathroom every 2 hours, I think it's nature preparing us to never sleep again :)

    same story here for the last two days, it makes me late for work because I'm in the middle of finally getting some sleep when my alarm goes off and I can't get up and then I wake up cranky and tired all day. The peeing doesn't help and my sinuses which decided to get annoyingly blocked while I sleep hasn't helped either. I wake up feeling like I fought a battle in my sleep and oh God the bad weird dreams I get
