New mom insomnia?

Anyone else? I have never had trouble sleeping in my life until now, all of sudden I find myself tossing and turning even though everyone else is sound asleep. I start a new part time job tonight so I really needed to sleep last night, instead I laid there wide awake till MOTN feeding, then I pumped laid back down and still couldn't really sleep. Now I had like maybe two hours sleep, have the baby till DH runs in the door and I run out to start new job, why!

    Are you stressed about things changing when you start your new job? Maybe once you start, the sleep will start getting back to normal.

    @anniemore's suggestions are good too. If you can find the time, a warm bath or hot cup of tea before bed might help too.

    I struggle with this too. No real advice, just commiseration.

    I get anxious that he's going to wake up any moment and that makes it really hard to let myself drift off.

    I've always been a light sleeper but more so now. Sometimes even when she's zonked out I can't fall asleep. I think it's my anxiety.
