Insomnia is driving me nuts!!!

So just like everyone else here, I'm tired, but don't have any time naps, so I'm so happy to be in my bed at the end of the day....except I get to just about there and my body and brain wake up and I can't fall asleep. I tired of tossing and turning at night, I just want to sleep. Never had this before. I feel it now that this is going to be my unpredictable child. I was shooting for March, got February. I'm tired but can't sleep. Starting to feel a little nauseated, never had any ms with my first. Oh the fun parts of pregnancy.

Re: Insomnia is driving me nuts!!!

  • Me too. Never had it before with my other 2 pregnancies. Picked up some unisom today. You can use that or Tylenol pm. I did get an awesome night of sleep the night before last though so I'm hoping it will go away on it's own. If not, unisom save me!

    I'm asleep before my head hits the pillow every night right now. But I have been up like clock work at 5am every day lately. I don't have to wake up until 6:30, so this has been frustrating. I'm going to try and use this time to be productive now rather than just laying in bed. I'm SO tired during the day though. I've been sneaking off to my car on my lunch breaks to take a nap!
  • I had insane insomnia during my third tri of my last pregnancy. I was hoping to avoid that but last night I felt like I was awake forever, after being exhausted all day! Booooo

  • Take half a Unisom. You'll thank me.

    And that reminds me that I need to pick some up on the way home....

  • Yes! I rarely have trouble sleeping, but the week before I got my BFP, I began to have insomnia. It got better for a few days but has come roaring back this week. So tired....... I-)

    Yes, I'm in the same boat. The best you can do is rest/nap even for just a short time if you're able (lunch break at work for 10-15 minutes) and hang in there, it should hopefully get better.

    Agreed! I literally just sat in bed 90% of the night staring at the wall. I do love unisom though! Hope you find some relief!
  • I keep waking up way earlier than I need to! It's so strange. It got better for a couple days and this morning it was back to waking up at 5 something.

    Hope you get some sleep soon!
  • @bublesmiled yes! And the worst for me is I just try to stay up too late too so by the time I fall asleep it's way late. Also today my DD decided to wake up at 4:45 so yeah... No sleep here. Also wanted to say how happy I am about your BFP and that we are on this BMB together. Maybe @hooligans4 will join us soon ;)
  • Soon @rspalding001, I'm waiting for my betas.

    All welcome

  • I get bad insomnia, too. :(  And when I am bigger like in the 2nd and 3rd tri, I usually get restless legs to go with it!

  • The insomnia is driving me crazy, too. My DD refused to nap today(so I didn't get a nap) and I'm exhausted yet I can't fall asleep even when I lay in the dark with my eyes closed! Why? Why does this happen?

    Oh no, no fun.  The things we put up with to have a child!
