Does any of you face insomnia ?

Question

Are you taking any medications for same or how are you dealing with it ?

Answer

Yes. No medication because we cosleep/bed share. I do try to work my daughter's keeping schedule round mine, e.g. she goes to bed at 9:30 at night so she won't wake until 9:30am which gives me hopefully 6-7 hours of sleep, but she often wakes up and once I'm awake I'm AWAKE 😥 It's been getting better since I've been back at work though.

Answer

Outside of medication, CBT-I is an evidence based treatment. It combines sleep hygiene (which is behavioral conditioning), and copying skills for our stressful thoughts about sleep. Our own thoughts about sleep only worse the problem - like the more stress I put myself under by thinking something like “I have to sleep well tonight because tomorrow is a big day” the more my brain produces the chemicals that keep me awake. So it’s just a big downward cycle of stress more about sleep, then sleep poorly, making me more stressed about sleep and so on. 
Best of luck, because not sleeping is the worst!

Answer

Yes! My Zoloft gives me insomnia so I take melatonin gummies at night!

Answer

When I occasionally get it I'll take a melatonin. Your body naturally produces it anyways so a small amount more is safe for breastfeeding.

Answer

Yes!
I was taking trazodone  only 50 mg- totally safe for bf. 
Then I stopped and started taking 10mg melatonin. 
I have my bedroom really cold and a heavy blanket to relax me 
This is what works for me:)
