What do you do to sleep soundly?

Question

I have been so, so tired lately and my husband suggested I track my sleep with my Fitbit to see if I am actually not sleeping well or if I there is something else going on. Well, below is last night, and under that is in August (pre-pregnancy). I have been sleeping this poorly every night!! I think it is partly I am starting to have trouble getting comfortable. 
How do you get restful sleep? Thinking about buying a body pillow - has anyone committed to this yet?

Answer

For sure get a body pillow. I've been using mine for months and it really helps now. There are still some nights I cant get comfortable no matter what but the majority of the time the pillow makes me comfortable enough to sleep. I still wake up but that's mostly if I've rolled over onto my back or if I have to pee lol

Answer

Hubby rejected the idea of a body pillow. Takes up half the bed and he’s such a baby about needing the right amount of room. Which I get. It’s also ten times harder for him to sleep than I. I ended up getting a boppy side sleeper pillow. I like it personally. Keeps me in place. Thankfully I’m already a side sleeper

Answer

I’m fully immersed in my pregnancy pillow these days and I take a unisom if I’ve had a few bad nights of sleep so I can get a good one

Answer

People tend to get more anxiety about sleep when they wear fitness trackers to bed. So, I wouldnt keep wearing it. A pregnancy pillow really helps as well as exercising early in the morning.

Answer

Some days I sleep pretty well, and others I wake up in the middle of the night and have trouble falling back asleep. I wear a Garmin to bed, and it breaks down sleep phases (not totally sure how accurate it is), my biggest difference between good/bad nights is in the amount of deep sleep I get.  I definitely recommend a body pillow! I've had one since like week 12! I didn't need it that early, but it seems more and more helpful since like 20 weeks. I tried Unisom once, and it made me a little groggy in the morning (I think because I had to get up early and got less than 8 hours of sleep), but helped me stay asleep at least. I'd recommend getting that if you keep having consistent restless nights.
