It's 5:30 am and I can't sleep. I have been awake for one hour. Zoey is asleep-I should be asleep. I love to sleep.
One of my biggest fears is becoming an insomniac. I used to be able to sleep so well. Now I feel like I toss and turn all night and I have a hard time falling asleep or returning to sleep.
I have been told that it is part of being a mother. I don't want to believe that.
Any thoughts?
I going to try to get some rest with the hour I have before Zoey wakes up.

Oh, man, I completely understand. I never had a problem with sleeping before I had Livie. Now, it usually takes forever for me to fall asleep. I also have random nights where I just wake up every couple of hours. Bleh. Glad I'm not the only one. But I hope you can find your sleep soon!
I feel for you.
Ever since becoming a mother I don't sleep as well either. My baby is usually sleeping like an angel but sometimes I have a rough time sleeping. Don't ask me why but if I wake up in the night for no apparent reason I have a rough time falling back asleep. So I know exactly how you feel.
i hate waking up that early. maybe because i know that i most likely won't recover that lost sleep before i have to get up. i think part of it is part of being a mother. my mom is still a light sleeper. (of course she still have kids at home too) when i was in school, (i've always been a napper) there were days that if i didn't sneak a nap in between classes or cut lunch short so i could nap, that i wouldn't get one. i would find a quiet place and lay down, put my coat over my head, set my alarm and... breathe. in and out while i would say relax. it worked and i would get to sleep. i have lost this skill a little, but i still use it when i wake in the middle of the night.
i hope that you get a nap or are able to go to sleep early tonight!
2 words....Tylenol PM! :)
