Insomnia!!

It’s 4am and I wife awake smh

I can’t sleep either

You try a sleeping pill? My doctor said it’s okay.

3am over here and I just scroll through my phone until I get bored 💀

Sometimes I resort to reading😂 that will make my eyes tired.

5:00am can’t sleep

Reading helps me too.

which sleeping pill you are taking?

But the heartburn and insomnia is winning tonight. It’s 2:12am here

Does anyone like to video chat?

I just use over the counter generic brand sleeping pills like unisom

I try not to use sleeping pills every night, but if I can’t fall asleep by 5am I’ll take one .

Also, if you can avoid napping late in the day that helps some, along with a warm shower and reading something that’s not too exciting. Some nights those things don’t seem to help and that’s when I’ll take a sleeping pill. It’s also easier to sleep when my partner isn’t at work and I’m not home alone.

Cherries also have melatonin in them. Some people juice them and some eat them.

I saw a mom make cherry juice and breast milk pops for her little to help regulate his sleep cycle

Benedryl or Unisom was recommended to me for troubles sleeping. I take benedryl every night and am currently 29 wks pregnant. It is perfectly safe for you to take every night if needed, I questioned my midwife on it and she informed me it is one of the best rates for pregnancy because it does not pass over to baby at all

Was up from 3am to 5:30am today. It sucks.

I turn the tv on to help shut my mind off.

Magnesium spray on your feet

I wasn't sleeping and my doctor recommended unisom. I feel so much better and it doesn't make me like groggy in the morning which I like. My mom also has a hard time sleeping and she said she eats a kiwi before bed and it helps her fall asleep faster and stay asleep. I personally have not tried this but she says it works

Stormy weather playing from YouTube really helps with my sleep

Thank you so much everyone!! I feel like I’m too early in my third trimester to be feeling this bad with sleep already

Bendryl Is safe. At least for me. I would talk to your doctor and if your still worried you can always take kid Benadryl. I say talk to your doctor because i dont know if you have any medical problems with pregnancy that could interact with Benadryl. So definitely check with your doctor. But I take it on nights that I reall just can’t sleep.

Tbh no I try to stay on schedule by going to sleep at 12 waking up at 8

Magnesium!

I've been listening to sleep meditation music binaural beats I'm not sure if you like white noise brown green pink but pick a color they have something that's a little bit different to help everybody.

Mother Earth Minerals Magnesium supplement before bed, blue light blocking glasses at least 30 min before bed, brown noise, eye mask. Doing a quiet activity until you get sleepy can be more helpful than laying there trying to sleep with your mind going. Do a brain dump in a journal of all the thoughts that are weighing on your mind to get it all out. I also use a still point inducer to calm my nervous system. Video I made on how I use a still point inducer: https://www.instagram.com/reel/CoL1l3EpSBY/?igshid=MzRlODBiNWFlZA==

Also sometimes listening to a boring lecture on YouTube makes me fall asleep in no time 😆

If anyone is up I made a late night pod

My obgyn says to take 1 Tylenol ( I have restless legs too) and 1 unisom at night
It helps me to sleep better but I don’t know I can take it everyday

thank you so much I’m going to start doing brain dumps .. I think this is a big part of my problem!
