Insomnia?

Question

Is anyone else having a hard time falling asleep at night?? For the first 2 trimesters I was falling asleep around 9/9:30pm, but I can't fall asleep anymore until midnight and my toddler still gets up at 6am everyday. I'm getting so frustrated! I feel really warm at night and I just don't feel tired at all anymore when it's bedtime. Any advice??

Answer

Yes, so this is my 4th baby, but first time experiencing insomnia since about 20 weeks.
I will tell you the cure lol
- cup of lemon balm tea with skullcap tincture
AND
-a glass of grass fed kefir mixed with organic tart cherry juice right before bed (it tastes like a smoothie)
And some magnesium lotion (ancient minerals or earthly) rubbed onto the stomach or feet before bed.
No blue light in the evenings, watch the sunset and sunrise.

Answer

My issue is restless legs. I take magnesium and rub magnesium oil on them to help. Then I’ve been waking up with super dry mouth and snoring is out of control according to my husband. Oh joy.

Answer

Same. It either takes forever to fall asleep or I wake for a few hours in the middle of the night. Restless legs are plaguing my sleep, too. I listen to a podcast called Sleep with Me which has helped quiet my brain and helps me fall back to sleep in those wee hours. It's just a guy kind of rambling and it's very hard to follow (on purpose) so puts me right to sleep.

I just look at it as training and preparation for those late night feeds 😏…I’ve gotten used to it…for a while I couldn’t go to bed until 2. But thankfully my two other children (5&3) will sleep in til at least 7 or later

Answer

Me. This happened with my first too. As soon as third trimester hit I started having a hard time falling asleep. It only got worse for me. Towards my last like 3 weeks I wasn’t able to sleep hardly at all, I think it’s a big part of why I started my leave a week before I had my son. 
This time around it started like 2-3 weeks ago. I’m 31 weeks now and last night couldn’t fall asleep until midnight. I also have been getting restless legs. However, I have been trying really hard to not forget my iron pill. I think that has been helping the restless legs part. 
It’s terrible. It makes the last few weeks drag.

Answer

Same…

Answer
