Seriously. This insomnia is the PITS. I guess on the bright side I’ll
Be used to being up once baby comes.

Because labor is hard, and it’s nice to be rested for it if you can!
I mean, don’t take sleeping aids if you don’t want. But I never understood the martyrdom of preparing yourself for lack of sleep with lack of sleep. That isn’t how sleep works...

I should’ve come in here last night, except I ended up “sleeping” in our guest room and left my phone elsewhere.

Oh. Yes. Sorry. Seven hours a night is dreamy! She’s overreacting, then. I have been contemplating a sleep aid just because my insomnia and restless legs have been super awful. But I am trying other options first. Blah. |

But I am trying other options first. Blah. I've been taking unisom occasionally in the last two weeks, since insomnia has started hitting. It's not every night, just nights that I really can't afford to get a bad night's rest, but it definitely helps me to keep my day to day stuff running smoothly. I'm all about the rest. |

I can fall asleep but if someone or something wakes me up? I’m up. Forever.

I end up being awake for 2+ hours before finally being able to settle back down...just in time for my alarm to go off. |

I've been taking unisom too. Sometimes I only take half of one, but I don't sleep as well when I only take half of one. The last two nights I took a whole one...I need all the sleep I can get right now. The other night I was up from 1:30 to 4:30...ugh. I had too many thoughts going through my head.

I have been having this problem too. It has been so bad that I have been leaving extra early for work because there is no reason to lay in bed doing nothing for so many hours. I think I may ask OB for something next week.

I think I may ask OB for something next week. Same! The other morning I was awake at 3:30, tossed in the towel and got up at 4:30, did laundry, picked up the house, had coffee, straightened my hair, got DS fed and on the school bus and I still got to work a half hour early. Lol! So productive (but I was exhausted by 10 am). |

I’ve been having so much trouble sleeping lately but last night was the worst. I’ve been waking up when my husband gets up for work around 3-4am and not able to fall back to sleep soundly. I used to sleep through him getting ready. I also woke up with horrible back pain. Blahhh

OMG. I took a half unisom and slept in the guest room. I had totally bananas dreams. Half of them were dreams that I was having contractions, and then I had a long emotional dream about Patrick Swayze being alive again and redoing the last dance scene from Dirty Dancing and I couldn't stop crying about it.

DS skipped a nap yesterday so he slept like shit. SO and I were both up with him twice and then I got up with him at 6:00. SO is off today so he had already asked to sleep in. When we finally woke him up at 8:30 he was pissy and couldn't stop complaining about how tired he is. So he's on my shit list today and I'm putting him to work.

WELL, it is 11:25pm and I cannot sleep. I can't think of anything except drinking water. I've been up since 6am and barely stopped moving all day, cleaning the house.
I finally allowed myself to get up and I'm drinking water, even though I'll have to pee all night. Not drinking just seemed impossible.

Pregsomnia: I've just decided to get up MOTN, instead of laying there.
I went to M when she cried MOTN, and then looked out the window and say my DAMN TRUNK LIGHT WAS ON. I meant to check for it last night because I knew the kids were playing in the back yesterday. So then I came downstairs to turn it off, and then put the laundry from the washer into the dryer and folded the stuff in the dryer. Now I just got on my laptop. I'm giving myself a deadline to go back to bed, but honestly, at least I'm DOING something.

We had my son's birthday yesterday and I was exhausted when we got home. Of course I slept for 3 hours and then the insomnia set in. I am hoping for a relatively easy day at work today.

F pregnancy insomnia. I've been up since 3.
After being in my feet for 3 hours baking and cleaning I thought I'd be out all night. Nope.
And i feel like I'm getting a cold. Womp.
