Postpartum Insomnia

Lisa
I'm 13 weeks postpartum and since a couple of weeks I've been having trouble falling back asleep after nursing my daughter at night. I have no trouble falling asleep initially but after waking up the first time (usually around 3 am) to breastfeed her I can't fall asleep again... I lay awake for hours, completely awake and not even feeling tired while ny husband and daughter sleep soundly next to me. It's really stressing me out, especially since my daughter is a great sleeper and I could be getting a ton of sleep if only I could fall asleep again...does anyone else suffer from this? Is this a hormonal thing? I know that my thyroid has been completely out of control since birth and I'm in the process of getting it back under control. And I've been getting my period since 5 weeks postpartum. Ugh. Is this a hormonal craziness or is it a sign of postpartum depression or something else? Does anyone have any tips, slowly but surely I'm getting pretty anxious over this...
