Sleeping tips?!

Question

I am 37 weeks and barely sleep. Some days I will stay up untill 9am in the morning then sleep untill about 3 in the afternoon. I have tried staying up whole days to break the cycle. Any tips?! I just want to sleep at night😩😩

Answer

I told my doctor this today and she said to try Tylenol PM 🤷🏽‍♀️

Answer

How is your night routine? Have you tried:
- No electronic screens at least one hour before bed, preferably two (so nothing with a backlit screen)
- warm bath or shower before bed
- high protein snack like yoghurt/ nuts/ cottage cheese to make sure you’re not hungry
- meditation, or easy reading right before sleep (nothing to wind you up, just reading for pleasure, eg no news)
- dim the lights in the house 2-3 hours before you intend to sleep
- make sure your bedroom is as dark as possible, and a comfortable temperature (a little on the cooler side if you’re not sure)
Everyone else suggested stuff to take but these are things you can do alongside, or without, drugs.

I've had insomnia in both my pregnancies and I find diffusing lavender essential oils at night really helps!

Answer

I use melatonin gummies...
The only brand that I buy is Vitafusion.
Otherwise I’d be up all night

Unisom is the only way I've been able to sleep my whole pregnancy.

Answer

I was on this same boat until I discovered that my beds function of “G zero” helps me so much and now I sleep amazing during the night in that mode. I was always scared to use it because I didn’t want to risk baby flipping or something since she’s head down but every other way I struggle to sleep and legit feel like a fish out of water 😓😳😔

Answer

My sleep is really disturbed now too. Up so many times in the night :( I read before bed which helps with falling asleep but not staying asleep.
