Insomnia

[Jeyla1230]

Hey, I said before on a thread about how sleeping at night is a struggle and in the day I struggle to wake up. But I feel its getting worse😒. Doesn't help that I had a nap hours ago(didn't intend to have a nap just fell asleep on the sofa).Now I'm struggling to sleep. Is there anything that can help me sleep at night? Sorry for the essay and thank you

Not sure I have much advice as I'm in the same boat! If you are able to nap then sleep when you can, I guess. I've had insomnia in both pregnancies and it was so much easier when it was my first than it is this time with a toddler.
I tend to wake between 3 and 4 every night for a couple of hours so I'm trying to get to bed earlier for a bigger chunk of sleep before this. Do you have a pattern to your insomnia?

So much harder with the 2nd...

Sleep when you can.
I have had an afternoon nap daily this whole pregnancy and am reliably up from 3/4 to 5/6

You just have to roll with it. Try and get fresh air and day light when you can
Lunch is my big meal - dinner is very light.

I tend to wake up few times in the night needing to go toilet, that's the worst part is as soon as I finally sleep then however long I need the toilet. I think most times I've been is 3 or 4 times. Then in the morning I'm absolutely shattered struggle to get out of bed. In the night when I wake up I'm awake from like 2/3 then 4/5 etc. Some nights are worse than others. This is my first pregnancy.

I know I'll probably end up napping today as I'm off work, I'm just so tired all the time😴. I went out yesterday with my friend for long drive thinking it may help. It did at the time but when I came back, even though I was tired my body just wouldn't let me sleep till very late. I eat so much, I'm soooo hungry when I eat now😂
