I cannot sleep 😭 anybody else?

Question

I'm tired and lazy all day but once bedtime comes around, I get so anxious and cannot fall asleep to save my life. There's a really good chance I'm gonna have to be induced late next week for high BP so I don't know if my insomnia is from the anticipation and worrying, but I NEED sleep 😫 (38 weeks & 2 days)

Answer

I'm the same! 38+4 and I'm tired and lazy all day, I'm even tired at bedtime, but as soon as I try to sleep it's like I get a shot of caffeine and can't sleep anymore. It's currently 1am where I am and I'm just chilling on the couch.

Answer

Benadryl!

Answer

Take a warm bath and drink a glass of warm milk. That might help. Also I haven't done it but a few have said they have taken Tylenol PM . But I take a warm bath or shower right before bed .

Answer

Benadryl is safe to take. I take a couple for sleep cause otherwise I wouldn't.

Answer

Me all day!!! Night owl..

Answer

I'm in the same boat. I'm 37 weeks. I may also be induced later this week if I have 1 more high BP reading. I use essential oils, drink warm milk, I've tried Tylenol pm, and my doctor even prescribed me flexeril, and I still can't sleep. It is 2:30am right now...this is the 4th night in a row that I've been up super late unable to sleep. Thursday night, I was up til 6am 😔

Answer

I'm 36w5d. I swear it was like the night I hit 36 weeks all sleep went out the window. I got four hours of sleep two nights ago, two hours last night, I took a 1-2 hour nap today and here I am still awake again and it's midnight. I just can't get comfy or relax physically or mentally 😫

Answer

I have done Benadryl, Tylenol PM (which just has Benadryl in it), and I finally tried Unisom-- recommended by my OB don't get the gel cap but get the blue pill form. Make sure that the  active ingredients isn't the Benadryl one, and it should say Doxylamine Succinate and not diphenhydramine
