Re: Overcoming pregnancy insomnia
Worth it!
Still, I wake up once in the middle of the night to eat a small snack of protein and fruit (otherwise I'll wake up in the morning incredibly nauseous....HG is still lingering into my 28th week).
I've tried to keep cool. It would probably help if I had some tylenol pm but I don't. I've tried the lavender scents. Headphones in my ears for relaxation or classical music (have to use headphones because my husband grinds his teeth so bad it sounds like he's chewing on a rock and it gives me a headache). Dark room doesn't help. I've always slept with a pillow beside me so I can hug it so I try to stick it between my knees but it doesn't help either. And overall it's just like my brain won't turn off for me to fall asleep. It drives me insane. Chocolate milk helps me sometimes which might sound weird but it does. Lol. Hot baths only works sometimes too.
But what helps me get a good nights sleep is getting some walking in. I try to walk 2-3 miles several days a week and it helps me to sleep better. Also, taking a hot bath before bed has helped.
