ds sleeping better than ever - i'm not!!!

[mrsflux]

ds is finally sleeping through (bar teething) and not waking up till after 6.
RESULT!!!

however i am not sleeping. i can get to sleep fine but i don't stay asleep. it takes me ages to get back to sleep.

i should be bouncing around with ds sleeping properly but i feel so lethargic!

top tips needed for a good nights sleep.

i've tried my old favourite of warm milk, but doesn't make a difference.

it just takes time i think! i had the same when ds2 started sleeping through, i cured it by having another baby

you'll get there eventually

On the odd occasion that ds sleeps well, i still wake up at the usual times. Then, i was doing that when pregnant, before he even arrived. lol

Sorry. Not helpfull.Try the world service. Very mind numbing relaxing.

bugger. That was ment to be crossed out. I've embarrased myself enough here now. I'm off.

Have you ruled out the usual things, too much caffeine, eating too late, just too warm etc?

I don't do caffeine so not that. It has been hot but not too hot in bed. Don't eat late as get funny dreams. There's no obvious cause except maybe ds has brain washed me into getting up at 5!

Last night was better- 3h in a&e after a bumped head and I was wiped out! (ds was fine btw)
I slept till 5 when ds stirred - he went back to sleep and so did he. Dh woke us both up at 7.20!!!

How about a hypnotherapy CD? Works for me most of the time (DS3 now 7 months and I started having sleeping troubles in January). That famous hypnotherapist who looks and sounds a bit smarmey - well he really has made me sleep. Just a thought.
