Took a sick day

I've been up since 1:30 this morning Sad Insomnia has hit in a big way. What are your tricks for trying to get to sleep when you're awake?!

Re: Took a sick day

  • I have not slept great in the past year or so, so I would like to know the tricks too.

    I just try to make myself go to sleep but sometimes that doesn't work.

    Hopefully you can get a nap in as I know how you feel.

  • I usually just lay there with my eyes closed.  I figure I'll get more rest doing that than getting up and trying to do something.

  • I watch TV or use my laptop until my eyes cant stay open anymore.

    This... or read a book. Pregnancy makes insomnia a bear for me.  I am up about 3-4 hrs a night at least 5 nights a week =(.  Not easy with a toddler, especially one with sleep radar.  He goes down and if I try to sneak a nap during his nap, he instantly wakes up upon my dozing.  If I stay awake during his naptime, he easily naps for 1 1/2 - 2 hours... without fail... grrrrrr!

    Hope you get some rest!

  • Sorry Kellie! This was me all over when I was pregnant! I was up at 4 every day!

    Now when Lucie wakes to eat around 5 I can never seem to fall back to sleep, I also, like Carrie, just keep my eyes closed but it doesn't seem to work! Hope it was just a one off and you're sleeping better now!

  • This is exactly it Caroline! 4am is the waking hour practically every night and then it's a total toss-up whether I can get back to sleep or not!!
