Stupid Insomnia :( :(

[Manda&Thomas]

Ive only been awake 5 minutes and im crying already
Im so tired no tired is an understatement
I just cant week ive had about 20 hours sleep in 2 weeks, couple that with running after Thomas all day every day i just cant cope anymore.

Arron doesnt help his answer is come to bed early, he doesnt understand that i just lay there and even when im so tired i could cry i still cant sleep.
I cant leave Thomas with anyone so i can try to rest as no-one else can feed him because of his problems.

Hes such a good little boy plays all day never cries or anything yet i find myself getting angry with him for no reason.
Arron will slee everytime Thomas sleeps and so i do my housework as otherwise it wont get done i cant live in a crap hole.
Dont no how much longer i can go without sleep for

Hugs would be great

Im so sorry to hear this

I have been suffering from insomnia recently also, laying in bed for about two hours even though im knackered before finally dropping off, but nothing this bad. Maybe you could see a doctor and see what is suggested?

I hope you feel better soon, sending lots of hugs your way

It was never this bad with Thomas but i think because i could rest when i wanted it helped.

Oh hun i had 1 week of very little sleep a couple of weeks ago because 2 of my children were ill & i was a blubbering mess then, i only have the odd sleepless night at the moment, like last night i woke 3 times needing the loo, twice with indigestion & trapped wind then woke up cause i had a horrid dream that i lost the baby
Go and see your gp if it carries on you need your

Thanks girls
I will go see dr if its still no better come the weekend.
I would love to be able to leave the houseowrk but i have quite bad ocd so it has to be done, and only by me or il just end up re-doing it anyway
Might treat myself to a magazine and have a soak with it later tonight hoping it might work

Hi Manda, im going through the same thing like insomnia. but not quite as bad as you as i dont have nay other children to contend with.
For the past 3 weeks i havent been sleeping well at all, like i can get off to sleep but about 3am in the morning i keep waking up and cant get back to sleep and just lay there for about 4 hours until i need to get up for work. Then i feel absolutely knackered. I dont know how i manage to go to work allday(and i work with children who really test your patience!)
I actually one night, didnt get any sleep and had to call in sick cos i felt so ill and dizzy.
The solution i came up with was to try and eat so i was full when i went to bed and not try to drink just before bed, and i seemed to sleep pretty much all the way through the night.But its not consistant.
I feel for you i really do, id try going to the doc, or maybe some yoga b4 bed?to relax you. Let me know how it goes.

 

[Manda&Thomas]

aww thanks hun eating till in full sounds good sure i can find something yummy to eat
i sort of managed to nap today i left Thomas with OH and i laid down and was half asleep but half awake still was very odd indeed,
hoping for a better night tonight

So sorry to hear you are going through this, must be awful. I know that Lavendar helps you to sleep so why not try getting some lavendar oil and putting a few drops in your bath, or maybe some on your pillow? Check out it's safe for pregnant ladies first though, sure it is but best to check. Sending you loads of these and hope you get your sleep soon.
