Sleeplessness

Okay, well, it happened again so I figure I may as well document it.

When I am pregnant, and awoken in the night by something, I cannot go back to sleep.

It is horrible. It happened last night again.

I was awoken from a deep sleep around 3 am, and couldn't go back to sleep until nearly 6.

My mind was spinning with all the things I needed to do for my day, baby names,

needing to pack, anything and everything was open for conversation in my poor, overly

tired brain.  Finally, just when I was giving up on the very idea of sleep, I started to

get groggy. What the heck?!?!

I need some tips. How do I help this to stop??  It tends to get better near the end of

pregnancy when I'm so tired that I can easily slip back into sleep, but it's not usually

so bad at this point. Perhaps I should just be patient and wait it out because my tired phase will

be here in about 12 weeks and that isn't all that far off. I don't have this insomnia that often,

only about once every 2-3 weeks probably.  Anyhow, I guess I needed to document this and

also ask for any tips that anyone might have. Thanks!

I really had this problem when I was pregnant with the twins. I used prayer. It worked.

I still have problems occasionally and I try to concentrate on my breathing. Hubby says he uses his breathing also, but just tries to slow it down.
