So why are you awake? What do you do when you can't sleep?

Here are the things keeping me up:

I have delightful Texas allergies and am so congested I want to gag. Of course I don't have any cough drops. My OB didn't seem too concerned when I told her yesterday and just said any OTC would be fine. Will look into that in the morning.

My girl pup has not been feeling great. I think she has a pulled muscle-- so trying to wait it out but at the same time, I'm in a panic and may have to take her to the vet in the morning.

My sweet husband is out of town and I truly think the sound of his heavy breathing puts me to sleep-- corny-- I know! (Not talking about the snoring, just breathing!)

I had to pee. If I don't fall back asleep right away, I'll check Facebook, or bump for a bit. I usually fall back asleep riiiight as my husband wakes up. (:|

My belly was gurgling and rumbling so bad I had to get out of bed and eat cereal at 445. And of course going back to bed would have been too nice.

I'm awake for no good reason. Just up wishing I could sleep. Sadly this is one of my pregnancy symptoms.

I also had to pee. I check fb and tb, sometimes I fall asleep within 20 min on a good night. Usually it's 2 hours later when dh is getting up. I start work again Monday and I will need my rest. Tonight, my stomach is a little upset

The past three nights, sex has been very helpful lol. But I know I can't do that every night so I just play on my phone until a half dose of benadryl kicks in.

Every little thing wakes me up. And once I'm up, I have to pee. Then once I pee, I can't fall back asleep. Friday I woke up at 3:30AM when H got home from work and never went back to sleep (then proceeded to work about 12 hours). Then last night I woke up at some point because of our dogs, couldn't go back to sleep for forever, then one of the dogs woke me up at 6:30am barking at who knows what and I couldn't go back to sleep after that either.

This is absolutely insane for me. I'm going to bed early and waking up early ALL the time. Friday night I was asleep by 9pm. This is coming from a girl whose natural bedtime used to be between 1am and 2am and my "natural" wake up time was around 10am. Ugh. I feel like a zombie.

What is sleep? I don't even know anymore. I sleep fine for the first 2-3 hours, then I'm up every few hours to pee or eat or because I can't get comfortable. The sleep time inbetween waking up is more of a half-sleep.

I miss sleeping on my back.
