Question

I have insomnia. Trying to conceive, I cannot take my prescription sleep med hydroxyzine as its dangerous to the fetus once I get pregnant. Taking melatonin causes night terrors and asthma issues so thats not an option. My coworker suggested edibles and Im not sure how safe it actually is. Does anyone know of alternative sleep aides? I'm on day 4 of staying up until midnight or later and its killing me....

Answer

Magnesium.

Answer

Magnesium. I use calm powder. Also taking an Epson salt bath before bed

Answer

They prescribe unisom in the first trimester for nausea so I would assume it’s safe while ttc also

Answer

What’s your bedtime routine look like. Blacking out all sunlight from the windows, sometimes sunlight can keep you up, maybe some extra sleepy tea from celestial seasonings, have a bedtime routine. Reading, watching something that you’ve seen 1 million times so it whines you down, and it doesn’t suck you in because it’s something mellow and you literally can quote it without having to actually watch it on TV, Maybe doing some yoga before bed, clearing your mind, with journaling, not eating, too close to bedtime, caffeine and take limiting to morning only, not having heavy meals or spicy, or anything that would upset your stomach, what’s your environment like, you need to be hot do you need to be cold, laying down and clothing, your eyes, and doing some deep breathing, You have to figure out a bedtime routine that works for you. I had insomnia for years, I would take Tylenol p.m. every night, and when I turn 40 it really kicked it bad, I figured out I had to black out my blinds with black garbage bags behind them because the light would wake me up. I don’t care how tacky it looked. I figured it out. Warmth makes me sleepy. Weighted blankets. I would watch nick at night friends mike and Molly and mom at night at 6am it switches to sponge bob and would wake me up, my brother is a night owl and changes the channel everyday so I don’t wake up to tbs channel it’s young Sheldon and family matters etc. The one thing he’s good for. You have to figure it out too. Reducing stress. Clearing your mind. Preparing things the night before to not have to worry them in the morning. Clothing laid out, lunches pre packed. Etc. Taking things off your plate and designating them to others etc. good luck.
