I spend all day being tired and then can't sleep at night - it's soooo frusturating!
Here is what happened last night:
Went to bed around 9 p.m.
Woke up to pee around 11
Woke up to pee a little after 1.
Couldn't fall back asleep.
Layed there.
Layed there some more.
Finally got up at 3:15.
Got gym clothes on and went to the gym.
Worked out from 3:30-4:30.
Went home. Got ready for work.
Left house at 5:15.
Went to Wal-Mart.
Got to work at 6:00 (30 minutes early).
Guess what. I'm DEAD tired and it's not even 7:00 yet.
UGGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I learned not to turn on any lights when I got up to go pee in the 1st trimester. It really seemed to help me not wake up and I got really good navigating to the toliet.
ReplyDeleteGood trick Roxanne, I must confess I still do that! Dana, it really does help. Have you asked your doctor if there is any kind of natural vitamins you could take like Melatonin?
ReplyDeleteThanks for the advice girls! I already don't turn on the lights when I use the bathroom, but it's not then that I have trouble falling back asleep - There is just a point in the night (around 1 or 2 a.m.) that I just wake up, even if I don't have to go to the bathroom, and can't fall back asleep. I called the doctor and they told me it's pregnancy insomnia and that I can take benadryl to see if that helps.
ReplyDeleteI'm sorry, hope it gets better. I didn't get like that until later in the pregnancy.
