Advice please with my sleep

I feel like iam losing the plot and I would like some advice on how to get back to feeling normal.

I think I'm suffering from some sort of insomnia, my 2 dc wake in the night 2 year old for reassurance and 7 month old for 1 feed at 2am -ish and they are both ready to start the day at 6am.

At the moment I can't sleep until gone midnight and then when the baby wakes at 2ish I can't sleep till 4am-ish.

I'm going crazy. I feel like I'm ill. I feel like I hate everything and everybody and am having some very negative thoughts about hurting the children.

I don't know what to do.

Can anyone recommend vitamins or diet?
I find if I sleep during the day then I can't sleep at a proper hour.
Dh has resorted to sleeping on the sofa (the sod) due to migraines so doesn't help.

Thanks in advance

oh gosh you poor thing, if it helps i have had the same problem - still here a bit but much better.

The only things that helped with anti-depressents (not suggesting you go on them but it may be worth speaking to your GP about how you feel amd see what he suggests) they have made me worry about sleep much less which in turn helps me to sleep much better.

I also find nytol and rescue remedy helps x
