Hello!

Well, I definitely have insomnia. I’ve slept badly ever since my second child arrived two years ago – he’s well and truly disrupted my sleep pattern, but things have been much worse for the last six months, the last two have been dreadful. Even when he does sleep I can’t! I struggle to get to sleep and if I do, I wake early and that’s it for me. Currently I seem to be in a pattern of sleeping almost not at all for one night, and then just a few hours the next – then the pattern repeats. Not quite sure I’m still functioning, but I hoping to find some comfort in this forum and any advice would be very welcome!

I look forward to communicating with you all.

Matt

Hey Matt. Where are you from? Sorry to hear about your sleep struggles. You’re definitely not alone. Can’t tell you how many times in my 2+ years of sleep problems I’ve read of a new child being the start of insomnia. Obviously you are dealing with sleep anxiety from all the times of having to attend to him in the middle of the night and what not. Is he sleeping well most nights now on a consistent basis? Do you tend to still worry about him possibly waking as you yourself are going to sleep?

Welcome to the forum, Matt — and I am sorry to hear about your challenges with sleep. First, let me reassure you that you are still capable of sleep and that you do not need to struggle with sleep for the rest of your life!

Do you tend to have more difficulty initially falling asleep, or do you tend to fall asleep but then wake during the night and find it hard to fall back to sleep?
