Insomnia

[pinksprklybarefoot]

Still pregnant... can't sleep! Anybody else? I try to go to bed at a decent time (9 or 10) but keep waking up around 2 or 3. I usually can't get back to sleep until morning. It seems to be for no reason at all (no contrx or anything). I'm lucky I'm not working anymore. This is so annoying.

You mean I'm not the only one who is still awake:yawning:
I used to work the night shift before I quit about a month ago and so I never really got back on a "normal" schedule. I havn't been asleep all night. I just stay up and clean and cook.... When I do sleep it is about 4 hour blocks. I heard if you get 4 hours of sleep then you do get into the REM (rapid eye movement) cycle which is where you actually get rested and your body heals itself. I think I need some REM.
I hope you can get some zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz's

I'm so tired that I could sleep, if I didn't have to get up 9 million times to use the bathroom and then have my 2 year old wake me up numerous times for some reason. DH has been sleeping in the spare room because what little sleep I WAS getting between the other 2 problems was ruined by his heinous snoring. How do couples get over that? I swear it must be grounds for divorce!

I've got insomnia, too. I've had it for months. I go to sleep so early because I just can't stay awake any longer, and then I wake up at 1:00. I'm trying to look at it as dress rehearsal for when the new babe comes. Also, with a busy husband and two little homeschoolers, it is one of the only times I get to think by myself. Not getting sleep when the new babe comes shouldn't be an issue for me .

Just wanted to let you know I am right there with ya!
