I can't sleep! Insomnia is driving me crazy... Anyone else on the same team?

[Crazyaboutdots]

Just wanted to share with you...
I'm a wife, mum and luckily working very part time... I lead a relatively happy life but cannot beat sleeplessness.
Thanks for reading at this time of the night.

I slept roughly 6:30-10am & feel fine.

Hope to get at least 5 hrs tonite.
I think I'm turning into Maggie Thatcher. :)

I had three very strong coffees this morning and felt OK. Their effects have worn off now and I'm very tired. I can't go to bed just yet though as my ds needs a bath and a story.
Here's hoping we all have a better night tonight!

I have started getting this too. In my case I think it’s stress and peri menopause. Also, I have trouble sleeping if there is any noise - dogs barking, neighbours playing music, etc.

I don’t have insomnia but I do have trouble falling asleep .
I’ve found taking Inulin has helped with the falling asleep part ( not necessarily the staying asleep though )
It’s a natural fibre powder I bought on a vitamin site online that was supposed to have performed really well in sleep studies.
I just add a scoop into my tea or milk before bed

I think i was actually awake the whole night last night. I used to sleep really well but I have an 8 week old baby and now even when she sleeps I can't . Really getting me down. Hope I sleep tonight!

Hi all. I have very bad insomnia aswell as OCD, anxiety and fibromyalgia :)

Until 2 nights ago I had not slept properly in months, I can fall asleep but I can't stay asleep.
Yesterday I slept until 6 and today until 5.15! That to me is a massive improvement.

I even bought some highly recommended CBD oil but am a bit scared to use it

Sorry there's so many others suffering too.

I wake between 3am and 5am every morning and it drives me mad.
I didnt know this was a perimenopause indication. That fits.
So sick to death of waking up and falling asleep again about half an hour before the alarm.

I've been getting a few hours, but after staring at the ceiling for a several hours and up like a spring at stoopid oclock. for about a fortnight. I'm dreading the school run tomorrow.
I look like a zombie after a crack binge

Hi again, how was your day today surviving on a few hours of sleep!
I'm exhausted and craving for carbs and sweets!
