Insomnia

**Lolpigs** · September 19th, 2011, 07:42 AM

Anyone suffering this at the moment?

I can't seem to get comfy much so my sleep isn't great anyway, but latley soon as I get up to go to the bathroom, or sometimes just randomly I'll wake up and be awake for at least 3 hours or so before I can get back to sleep.

It's taking it's toll now because I still have 2 weeks of work yet but I'm really struggling now.

I found it so hard to sleep towards the end. I just couldn't get comfy and couldn't switch my mind off. I don't have any tips unfortunately, just hugs

I'm sleeping a lot better now bubs is here lol.

I had the exact same thing....I would wake up at 1am to go to the loo and then I'd be wide awake until 3.30am! I used to just go with it because it was useless (and majorly uncomfortable) to just stay in bed. I'd get up and check my emails, make lists of the things that were on my mind, have a drink and check this site. Then I'd go back to bed and usually, because I had everything off my mind, I would fall asleep pretty quickly.

However I had the luxury of an afternoon nap because I was already on maternity leave by your stage. I hope you can get some sleep. Have you tried a warm cup of milk or a small snack?

Feel the pain, I think I got up to the loo 7 times last night and then when I wasn't doing that I was laying in bed tossing and turning because I couldn't get comfortable. And thinking about weird things, then when I was sleeping eventually it was dreaming about giving birth on the freeway.

Might have to try the get up, clear head and reset idea - finishing work in 3 days!! I also find chamomile tea with a dollop of honey before bed sometimes soothes me enough to ignore the aching hips/back and go to sleep.

Thanks guys, fingers crossed I can struggle through the next few weeks. I've tried getting up but that seems to make it worse. I've stayed at home today becuase 4 hours sleep does not make me function too well at work LOL

Oh I know, what's with that anyway? As if it wasn't hard enough with the aching everything and hayfever but needing to spew as well??

Hope you got *some* sleep in the end

**Lolpigs** · September 21st, 2011, 09:53 AM

oh yeah what is with the hayfever? I can so do without not being able to breathe..

You too hun

Doobie doobie doo...I'm awake. Again. Apparently being lazy and having pizza for dinner is a surefire way to give myself killer reflux/heartburn.

**Lolpigs** · October 5th, 2011, 07:31 AM

Hope it got better for you, I only have to drink too much milk for that LOL I was bad and had pizza the other night.. but it was hubby that got sick not me

poor dear.

Oh yeah, no being lazy for me, if I don't want heartburn I have to go for a walk everyday to get all my insides to shift around to better positions LOL least thats what I think. I'm going to do a few hour walk to and from the post office today as I'm off work now.. yay! and have the time to potter about.

I'm going to be so knackered!

**Cranky Kitten** · October 5th, 2011, 08:37 AM

Mylanta is my friend.

Whether I walk a lot or not doesn't seem to have much influence on whether I get the heartburn or not, it's more what I eat. Or if I eat too close to bed time, that kind of thing.

At least by having my back done yesterday, I wasn't quite as sore and sleep was do-able.

**Lolpigs** · October 5th, 2011, 03:27 PM

I find those quick eze tablets are good too, taste alot better than Mylanta. They are like a chewy mint lolly.

My walk took longer than I thought, first time walking there so had a few detours LOL but all in all I found my way there and back so hopefully it will help me sleep tonight.

SO glad to be off work now. Was just getting too much with the random not sleeping and then trying to function at work. Most of the women I work with are younger than me with no kids, so they think your just overreacting...

My hips have started aching now too, I think bubs has shifted down a bit becuase I can breathe better, but if I stand or walk for too long that whole area is sore.

Im having the issue with waking up for the loo and staying awake. Normally need to loo about 4am and dont go back to sleep before my alarm goes off

**Lolpigs** · October 6th, 2011, 08:38 AM

Oh yeah Amumma know all about that, I find myself lying in bed trying not to get up to the toilet and trying to just go back to sleep because I know as asoon as I do.. no sleep for me
