I'm just over 4 months PP and I developed this anxiety feeling probably about a month ago. I became obsessed with my LO's sleep and my sleep at night and I'm having trouble sleeping BC I'm waiting and anxious to hear her crying on the moniters! Like I often hear crying that's not happening....and I been waking up 1-2am and I'm unable to fall back asleep BC I'm waiting for her to wake up!! But she often doesn't until sometime between 4-6am to eat. So I'm awake with this pit in my stomach waiting waiting waiting for her to cry. She usually puts in a good 6-9 hours before waking...like a bad night for me is when she wakes after a 5 hr sleep....but she will go back Down for another 4-5 after she eats....so she's a pretty good sleeper even on a "bad" night.

I have this anxious, queasy feeling from whenever I wake up until the morning when I actually get out of bed....and this morning I had the dry heaves BC of it!! Then I'm fine for the rest of the day!!!

Is there something I can take that won't knock me out cold but also take that edge off.....melatonin maybe?

My husband told me just to take a z quil but I'm afraid I won't wake up easily from it!

Thanks
