Daytime naps are near impossible for me! By the time baby is situated and I usually start drifting off... she tends to wake up (she's a cat-napper) and I feel worse off than before. But I'm lucky she likes to sleep in late mornings! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/babys-asleep-but-im-awake#post-814699 Wed, 29 May 2013 08:23:12 +0000 Mrs. Deer 814699@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@shopaholic - yeah that's what I'm afraid of! Definitely putting off some to-do's today and trying for a nap :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/babys-asleep-but-im-awake#post-814554 Wed, 29 May 2013 06:42:02 +0000 shopaholic 814554@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Idk how to fix it, but I feel ya. It's 4:40 here and I've been up awhile waiting to feed the baby. Bit she's sleeping so well. Everyone just tells me " you won't sleep for 18 years!" :/ </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/babys-asleep-but-im-awake#post-814530 Wed, 29 May 2013 05:16:32 +0000 Mrs. Deer 814530@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Well it's 3AM and even though the babe is sleeping I'm wide awake. Before pregnancy I was an awesome sleeper, no trouble falling asleep and staying that way until morning. Towards the end of pregnancy I was frequently wide-awake from about 3-5AM. I remember once thinking "I bet I'll actually sleep more after she's born and I can get in a comfortable position." Haha, what a silly thought. Now she's 5 months old and usually does a 7-9 hour stretch at night... but it's like my body has forgotten how to sleep. It takes forever to fall asleep, I wake up a bunch and have trouble falling asleep again. So frustrating to know she's in the other room asleep and I'm laying here wide awake!</p> <p>Anybody else going through this? How long did it last? Any tips for better sleep? :) </p>
