how much sleep do you get?

curious how long everyone typically sleeps. i've been getting about 8.5 hours every night and still wake up utterly exhausted! is this bc i need more sleep, or is this what happens in 3rd tri? i'm 32w.

how much sleep do you get?

I was doing really well on 8 hours for a while but lately I have been getting 9 hours and closer to 10 on weekends and I have still been tired when I wake up and I'm only 23weeks. I want to blame a lack of day light, I feel like it is tricking me into thinking it is way later than it is at night and too early to be up in the morning.

how much sleep do you get?

I usually go to bed around 9PM and wake up at 7AM. So that would be 10 hours. But I also wake up to pee about 6-7x per night. And I'm also so tired!! I just can't seem to get enough sleep. I'm still working full time too- so between that and an hour commute each way, I have a long day. It's just exhausting being pregnant!

Re: how much sleep do you get?

probably about 6 or 7.... MAYBE! I wake up a lot... and there are a lot of times that i cant fall back to sleep right away!

Re: how much sleep do you get?

I get 8 hours of sleep and thankfully only get up once to use the bathroom. I feel pretty good right now and rested. Of course I have some days that I feel tired but I blame it on the rain. I'm 26 weeks. I'm sure once I hit my 3rd trimester, it will be a totally different story.

Re: how much sleep do you get?

Around 9 hours of sleep, so far so good. Towards the end you'll get less sleep, your body is getting you ready to be up with a newborn at all hours of the night.

I don't sleep :( its soo bad!! I try but its more like Im closing my eyes then actually sleeping! lol

Re: how much sleep do you get?

I'm jealous of your 8 hours of sleep. I can't sleep for more than an hour without waking up. All in all counting it in 45 minute intervals I'd say i probably get total of 5 hours of sleep per night/day. It sucks! I'm 38 weeks and can't wait to meet my LO and who knows I may actually be able to get more sleep with a newborn than I can now!

Re: how much sleep do you get?

average - 8 hours per night. Sometimes 9.

Re: how much sleep do you get?

I'm so utterly uncomfortable it's hard to find a position to fall asleep in. I have no idea how many hours I get because I wake up so often. I'm just getting used to being a walking zombie however I was so tired yesterday, I dinged this guy's car

Re: how much sleep do you get?

i'm prob in bed 10 hours a night since i've been home from work... but on a "good" night, i'd say i'm up 3-4x during the night and on a "bad" night every hour or there are nights when i wake up and i'm up for hours. i'm always exhausted, it's just so uncomfortable and difficult to sleep at this point.

Im getting probably around 9 hours, and totally exhausted for most of the day. I wake up 1 or 2x a night to pee, and either pass right out afterwards, or Im up due to DH's snoring! lol

Re: how much sleep do you get?

I am in bed for 9 hours but I only sleep an hour or two at a time. I am constantly up to pee and I have been having weird dreams. I am sooo tired when I finally get up in the morning.

Re: how much sleep do you get?

i get about 7 hours sleep during the week and about 10 hours on the weekends but i still wake up super exhausted! I am still working and commuting to work in Manhattan on the subway so i'm usually exhausted by the time i get to work LOL

i didnt feel this exhausted in the first trimester...i just want to sleep all day

Re: how much sleep do you get?

I am 20 weeks and finally, within the past few weeks, my exhaustion has gone away. I usually get between 7-7.5 hrs of sleep a night.

I do remember when I was pregnant with my DD that the last few weeks were torture and I was SO uncomfortable that I barely slept at night so I was exhausted ALL the time. In general though, even if you're sleeping, those last weeks of pregnancy start to wear on you. You're getting bigger and your body is just tired in general.

Re: how much sleep do you get?

I have a crazy job, an almost 2 year old getting molars and am just about 37 weeks - I'm lucky when i get 5-6 hrs.

Re: how much sleep do you get?

I always need a lot of sleep. I usually get 10 hours. I do feel more tired, but Iam also getting up to pee a lot.

how much sleep do you get?

I go to bed around 9 and get up at 5:30 with a few bathroom breaks in between. So, I guess 8 1/2. I have a long day on my feet and an hour and a half commute each way, so that makes me very tired! On weekends I sleep around 10-12 hours and I still like to nap. I am 26 weeks.

sleep? whats that? im lucky if I get 2 hours straight at a clip

Re: how much sleep do you get?

i have had horrible insomnia this whole pregnancy so if i get 4 hrs a night i consider myself lucky

Re: how much sleep do you get?

I was feeling fine until about 2 weeks ago. I'm now 32 weeks as well. It was like a lightswitch was turned on and exhaustion set in. I don't think I'm sleeping well w/ all the bathroom visits. I'm trying to get closer to 9-10 hours sleep, which is hard to squeeze in! I'm also trying to limit myself to one day out on the weekends, and have one day of doing absolutely nothing!

Re: how much sleep do you get?

I feel like I barely sleep enough...EVER

I work 2 jobs, one of them being a night shift 11p-7. Some days I work all night and then go straight to my 2nd job from 8a-4p. It really sucks but I manage and need the money since i dont get a paid maternity leave. I'm currently in my 34th week and REALLY looking forward to maternity leave. I have a feeling i'm going to get more rest when the baby is here than I do now!
