  I was the same way i am not a napping person but i would just lie down and put a cool small pillow(i will sometimes stick it in the fridge or freezer) on my eyes and just lay there. I would only nap for about 5 min at the beginning and it would take like 30-40 min to fall asleep and it still takes awhile for me to nap but i nap for a good hour now and wake up 10 min before DD

  Try some light reading or an eye mask.

  Same problem. Seems baby and I are on opposite schedules. When he's sleeping I try to "rest" but I usually have energy to do laundry or something. Then he's wide awake when I just want sleep. I have been able to pump so now I will do an earlier (9-10) feeding while my husband or grandma stays up to do an additional (11 or midnight) if needed. That way I can "rest" a few hours and do the overnight feeding while my husband sleeps for work. Read something boring or put on lavender oil. The nurses told me rest is better than nothing. I watch a tv show or something to relax a little. We need to take it easy you know! Good luck!
