I've had trouble sleeping lately and this always helps. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/day-2-of-horrific-insomnia#post-2665167 Wed, 14 Dec 2016 07:26:49 +0000 mrswin 2665167@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@travellingbee: Are you taking any medications right now? I got sick when DD was 9 months and the doctor prescribed a nasal spray for me to help with the congestion. After 2 nights of horrible insomnia I googled the heck out of it and found out that it contains a cortico steroid and it was causing my insomnia! As soon as I stopped taking it I was fine.<br /> All that to say take a look at anything you may be taking right now to see. Otherwise a bath and a meditation CD has worked for me in the past. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/day-2-of-horrific-insomnia#post-2665146 Wed, 14 Dec 2016 01:46:39 +0000 newlypregnantlady 2665146@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I usually listen to a couple somewhat boring podcasts in the dark. The BBC's In Our Time is good for this because it's interesting but not too interesting. Or I listen to an audiobook that I like but one I've read before (so I don't get too caught up in what's coming up). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/day-2-of-horrific-insomnia#post-2665143 Wed, 14 Dec 2016 00:47:48 +0000 Corduroy 2665143@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Listening to Hypnobabies tracks puts me out instantly. I've listened to it when not pregnant to fall asleep. Maybe try looking for a relaxation track online. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/day-2-of-horrific-insomnia#post-2665137 Wed, 14 Dec 2016 00:35:25 +0000 Pumpkin Pie 2665137@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Try magnesium pills. I always have some at home and they've really helped. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/day-2-of-horrific-insomnia#post-2665129 Tue, 13 Dec 2016 23:59:30 +0000 birdofafeather 2665129@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Chamomile tea, epsom salt bath, lavender essential oil, magnesium powder in water, Tylenol PM, and get off your phone/device ASAP! Sorry. That's awful. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/day-2-of-horrific-insomnia#post-2665127 Tue, 13 Dec 2016 23:57:54 +0000 travellingbee 2665127@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@youboots: I just took a 1/2 of benedryl.
