  I’m a big fan of using a sleeping brick! I just have my husband bash me over the head with one around the time I want to go to sleep, and it knocks me out long enough to pretend I’ve rested. The lavender scented one is my favorite, but sometimes the cinnamon one is nice too.
  
  Have you tried Benadryl? I’ve also heard that it’s good for knocking you out, although I’m not a HUGE fan of unnecessary medication, if you know what I mean.

  This may likely be your life for months to come. It’s amazing how we can power through without sleep, and get shit done.

  I’m literally crying @ivyvines6
  
  Also OP, you’ve had trouble sleeping since you were 2-3 weeks pregnant? At 2 weeks pregnant ovulation is just occurring, there’s not even any HCG present to cause any symptoms...

  It's just preparing your body for when you're getting that much sleep AND have a child screaming bloody murder in your ear. You should be happy you'll be more prepared than others.

  I blissfully sleep through the night knowing I have a doctor and Google to answer my questions.

  I take a shit ton of unisom and force my Hubs to get up with the spawn of the devil himself. As I affectionately call my toddler at 3am.

  No.
  And seriously, if this is an actual issue for you, contact your ob. Do not take medical advice from Internet strangers.

  In all seriousness, you should call you care provider and discuss this with them. I take magnesium at night, and it helps calm me down so I can rest. I am not a fan of medicine for myself unless I’m sick or have a headache, and as such, have no experience with taking anything for insomnia.

  I might have more trouble after looking at that weird gif courtesy of @onesmallcoconut....
  @ivyvines6 - was your brick a Amazon purchase? I might need one of those.
