Help I'm getting no sleep!

Hi everyone, I'm writing this in desperation, I'm getting no sleep, I'm 27 weeks pregnant and I cannot get into a deep sleep for love nor money, it's been days and I'm going a bit mad. It's like my body just will not enter REM. Yet I don't feel anxious? I've tried the usual tips, but I'm at a loss, does anyone know why this is happening and how I could remedy if? Confused

What helped me:
Warm bath
Porridge 1 hour before bed
All electronics off an hour before bed
Try and stay awake in bed - sounds counterintuitive but trying to stay awake is actually very tiring

I'm the same, 29 weeks pregnant and can't seem to get past 3am or enter a deep sleep. I use nytol 'one a night' when I get desperate and that restores some sanity.

Last night I had a shower and spent some time applying moisturiser and products etc and really 'wound down' I fell asleep on the bed at 7.30pm and slept until 4am
....Guarantee I won't be able to replicate that tonight!!
