Hey all! I’ve been experiencing insomnia for about 9 months now. It all started when my toddler was waking at 4am everyday. His sleep went back to normal but mine did not. I started waking up super early, then multiple times a night and now I can’t even fall asleep. It’s been awful.
Hello!
Sleep disruption is very common amongst parents so I am not sure why you think this is such a huge problem. Instead of trying to avoid it, could you not try to accept it or kinda expect your current sleep pattern will be here to stay, the key is to stop trying so hard to control your sleep. Perhaps the only thing you can do is establish some sort of regularity, depending on your baby’s sleep schedule and grabbing mini naps here and there whenever you can and do feel sleepy. Learn to stop stressing over it because thinking there’s a problem (when there’s actually none because insomnia isn’t a huge problem in itself but thinking there’s a problem becomes the problem) is not going to help you but makes it worse! Be really patient and kind to yourself, this is really important when things get rough. Good luck and I hope you find some relief soon.
