I normally sleep like a baby (bad reference, like a toddler?), but during this entire pregnancy I've had insomnia. I have no problem going to sleep, but I'm up at 1am, again at 3 (if I make it back to sleep), and 5am. I could set a clock by it. I tried Benadryl, and it worked the first night, and not so much for the next week, even when I tried to double the dose.
Then I saw my OB who suggested Unisom. I was so excited to get to take an actual sleeping pill! However, I was up at 1,3 & you guessed it: it's 5am! And I'm wide awake! I did take it a little early last night (8pm), but I was already falling asleep. Plus I wake up at 6am when my hubby gets up for work (I'm a SAHM this time around). My husband has already suggested taking it later, my thought is to try two tonight. Or maybe an additional one at 1am when I first wake up? Thoughts, suggestions?
Re: Unisom & Benadryl
I get at least 7 hours a night on a work night
