This happens to me quite a bit...struggling to stay asleep for the entire night. I'm beginning to think the culprit is my bladder, it being the reason I'm getting out of bed mid sleep. I remember when I was pregnant this happened to me all the time. I'd wake up to go to the bathroom and could never find rest again. Of course then I had such a good excuse. I was completely uncomfortable due to my ever growing mass and I was actively getting kicked. Although, I'm glad to not have that excuse today, I can't quite understand why sleep eludes me so. First things first, I must find a way to stop waking up at 1ish. Note to self: cut off water supply by at least 7:30pm. I don't know, do you think that's soon enough?
[I was resting and Adam brought me a sleepy Megan to get me up. She tried her best to get as close to me as possible, at one point actually laying on me, but as evidence to the photo Adam took, she really didn't do her job. ]
Sleep is so delicious that it pains me to be in this situation. You have to admit though, there is something sweet about being up in the quiet to get stuff done. I think really well in the middle of the night or I should say, I usually have my best ideas. Not to say my ideas are actually great when I wake up, but when I'm in bed and I've got nothing else to do they seem brilliant. Of course I would give it all up if sleeping through the night were an option. Why isn't it an option? I want it, I really do. Tomorrow, excuse me, today is going to be brutal as I attempt to get stuff done on one of my busiest mornings of the week and try to avoid crawling back in bed. Aargh! I only have two hours before I'm suppose to get up and run. Wish me luck. I'm off to attempt sleep again.
what do you do if you can't sleep?

What a sweet photo!
I had that problem when I was pregnant and it was completely miserable. Maybe you should get a prescription for Ambien?
I have been having this problem lately as well- what gives? I finally took some Unisom the other night and it worked like a charm and I didn't feel groggy at all the next morning from it.
Love that picture.
great photo!
I have no advice for you. I have this problem right now myself but it is due to my 18month old. She is not sleeping these days.
good luck and sweet dreams!
It's been a long time since I couldn't sleep. I usually stay in bed, fighting it and trying to get to sleep. But if I really can't, I will either read, get my ipod and put on Enya, or take a warm shower. I have tried Unisom when I was pregnant and I've taken Benedryl when I was sick with the sinus thing. Hope you get past it!!
Sometimes I'll get up and have some juice or a cookie - something to change my blood sugar levels. It doesn't help to just lay there, stressing over how much or how little time I have left before the alarm. It's a problem alright. If you find a solution, let us know!
i hope you get some sleep soon. i finally caved and took something last night. getting up and feeling rested is the greatest feeling in the world. one i don't have very often.
