For us gals dealing with insomnia. What are you doing at these odd hours? How are you dealing when you need to get up?

    I have been just watching late night T.V. or surfing the internet. It's getting old. :(

    I feel like when I finally get some sleep and when I need to get up. My pregnancy symptoms are much worse. It blows.

    Lack of sleep is really catching up with me. Im exhausted by 8:30pm, crawl into bed only to stay awake till midnight. Then 2am and 4am im up peeing. I barely get back to sleep after my 4am wake up call. Today i havnt moved from the couch (only to get more food from the kitchen) working from home is great but at a very slow speed. My kids are due home from school soon, and all i want to do it take a nap.

    Very tempting to use my iPhone/iPad
    & actually I did past 2 nights before being quite stern on myself
    But I really just keep the room dark, bedding light, window slightly ajar, & force my eyelids closed. Drives me a bit nutso (specially hearing DH sleeping restfully) but I eventually fall asleep.

    I'm attributing my insomnia to a vicious cycle of night time insomnia coupled with mid day fatigue, which requires a nap that ends up going for 3-4 hours. I've tried the alarm clock, to keep the nap 30-40 minutes but I snooze in my sleep

    Round and round

    I don't turn on any electronic devices. No TV, no phone, no computer, no Kindle.  I might read one of our books on the couch, but for the most part I just stay in bed with my eyes closed.  I know my mind will race, but once I turn something on I can forget about sleep.  

    Me too-- if I get up, I'm done. I do get about around 3 to pee. I usually just lay there, wishing I were asleep.

    I am going to try the no lights and no electronics. I hope to sleep. Insomnia bites.

    The first few nights I tried to just lay in the dark, but between ten pm and 3:30 am sleep wasn't happening. These days I read, until three days ago when I rediscovered skyrim. My 5:30 am alarm can be a pain, but hubby helps me get up! Gotta say, I love the weekends!!!

    Insomnia is the worst. I'm glad I'm not the only one up at the 2 o'clock hour. I usually bump until I fall back asleep.
