Sleep remedies....?

Question

Hey everyone! So it is 6am here in the UK! I went to sleep at 1am and awoke by 5am! Does anybody know of any good sleeping remedies to use that are safe during pregnancy? 
I am exhausted and find it so hard to sleep at night and get comfy I usually end up staying awake until about 7am then full asleep until about 5pm and then I’ve woken up and haven’t eaten all day, feel sick etc...
I have myself in a wicked routine and need to break it! I’m seeing my midwife today and hoping she has some ideas but not sure if any of you ladies would have ideas too? 
Thank you x

Answer

Magnesium has been THE most effective at keeping me asleep through the night, not necessarily to fall asleep. I swear by it!!!

Answer

I don’t have any but I am in the same boat! I am exhausted all day and then at night I don’t sleep well and I am up by 4:30-5 everyday! It’s awful.

Answer

sleepy lotion from lush really helps me :)

Answer

Same boat. I am dead tired by 9-10 pm. But wake up between 12-3 and I'm up til 5-6am. So frustrating! I feel like all I do is nap. And work then feels killer

Answer

Try not to let yourself sleep during the day. It will suck for the first few days and you’ll probably feel worse before you feel better, but it should help reset your routine. Make a bedtime routine and stick to it. I always bathe or shower at night and it relaxes me for bed. I use lush sleepy lotion only at night, and I drink peppermint tea as I’m getting ready for bed. Doing the same thing before bed is like a signal to your body that sleep is coming and it starts to prepare for it.
