Insomnia...?
The past few nights I have woken at 3am to pee. Then I can't get back to sleep until about 6am, and sleep til 8am. The whole day I am just dragging. Is this normal, and will it continue throughout the pregnancy? I am thinking about taking a Tylenol PM tonight just to get one good night's sleep...

Re: Insomnia...?
It's completely normal. I go to bed so early that when I wake up to pee I have a hard time falling back asleep too. I tihnk it's our bodys way of preparing us for those mid night feedings, lol. I would NOT take tylenol PM or anything though. Sorry this is happening.

Re: Insomnia...?
I have it now too. But I exhausted during the day. All day all I want to do is sleep and then if I wake up to pee , I cant fall back asleep....
I heard that you CAN take tylenol PM. I would ask the DR ( and please report back!)

Re: Insomnia...?
I had the same thing last couple of weeks. By Friday everyone at work was asking if I was okay because I looked like a zombie.
(Damn ELF concealer doesn't do jack!!)
I'm still having it a little. The most frustrating thing is that from 1:00pm to 6:00pm I could literally sleep standing up.
Then I get a 2nd wind and get tired at night, but can't sleep. Or can't stay asleep.
Only things that have been helping is cutting back on liquids after 8:00 so I don't have quite the urge to pee, NOT napping during the day, no matter how much I want to.

OMG..>No naps?!?!
My routine is I work till 2:30...I come home and I am sleeping by 5:00...I sleep till 8:00 or so...Back up till like 12:00 and then back to bed.
If I dont nap in the late afternoon Im asleep by 8:00 and then back up too early.
ugh it a vicous cycle!

Re: Insomnia...?
Oh, and I told my acupuncturist and he did a couple needles in my neck to help promote "restful sleep". It seemed to help a little.
I don't know if you are still doing acu, but if you are, you can ask.

Re: Insomnia...?
Since becoming pg, my sleep habits have changed several times, including bouts with insomnia. Hopefully, the phase will pass soon.

Re: Insomnia...?
I dont have insomnia- but I've been getting up 3 times a night the past few nights to pee. When that happens, I feel like I could stay awake, but I eventually fall back asleep.

Same here. Though last night I managed to sleep through the night...my secret? I didn't drink anything for 2 hours before I went to bed. Of course, I woke up this morning feeling parched, so I suppose there's no perfect solution.

Well, thats another thing- I had to drink some water every time I got up because I was sooooo thirsty!! So, I'm sure that probably contributes to having to get up again.

Re: Insomnia...?
It's frustrating....but I know, worth it. I have never been a good sleeper before anyway.
SO if I post on here at 4am, I may get some replies, and you won't all think I am insane???
