I am single mum to 2 DD the elder is 6 and the baby is 16 weeks....I am blessed with a lovely placid baby who is a really good sleeper very early she went to just one night waking and often sleeps through...lucky me yes ??
Except bloody mummy cannot sleep - I just struggle to fall asleep very restless keep waking up.....agghh it id driving me mad - I am shattered and I really shouldn't be the baby is a lovely sleeper.....
Ok I have had a hard 2 years and lots financial worries at moment (big ones)......BUT I am usually a good sleeper (years of shift work trained me to sleep anywhere any time and usually I do)...even when H had affair and OW was harassing me my sleep was ok...
I am not depressed (stressed yes but coping well)...have tried all the usual sleep hygiene things which are NOT working and am just getting fed up

There is a really good relaxation CD... rainbow relaxation by marie mongan. I have never stayed awake through the whole CD.

Could you afford/manage a course of aromatherapy? I can thoroughly recommend it.

You may not think you are stressed - particularly as you have been MORE stressed in the past, and things seem to be improving - but I think that is when the exhaustion improves and the low level, background stress kicks in.
