Back to work after maternity leave and struggling to sleep

[Bootsand]

I have just returned to work after 10 months of mat leave and my sleep is still so shit. Baby's sleep seems to be ok - she wakes once a night which I don't think is that bad. But when baby wakes, I wake, and I can't get back to sleep. Even when DH settles her I am still awake.

I have been up since 2am and have a full day in the office. Not sure how I am going to survive today, or the next year 😅

I had this but baby slept straight through I tooks hours to get to sleep, I had to plan my day ahead and make sure everything was organised and packed in my head

once my mind calmed down I slept

Try magnesium thats helped me a lot. Are you doing any exercise? Swimming really helps me sleep, can you do that a couple of evenings whilst DH does bedtime? The ‘nothing much happens’ podcast is good!
