Generally, I can fall back asleep easily, but last night was miserable. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-have-trouble-going-back-to-bed-after-night-wakings#post-1295615 Sat, 21 Dec 2013 11:26:51 +0000 Mrs. Chocolate 1295615@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Usually at least once per night I do. We wake up every hour and a half so at least once knock me awake and Im up for the next waking *sigh* </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-have-trouble-going-back-to-bed-after-night-wakings#post-1295604 Sat, 21 Dec 2013 11:19:47 +0000 Smurfette 1295604@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Pretty much every night. Even if I just get up to use the bathroom. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-have-trouble-going-back-to-bed-after-night-wakings#post-1295598 Sat, 21 Dec 2013 11:10:42 +0000 Cherrybee 1295598@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yeah, a couple of times a week at least. I lie there just waiting for her to wake up again, watching the clock and thinking grumpily "well, there's no point going to sleep now is there?" I think I work myself into a tiz about it and then I can't doze off. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-have-trouble-going-back-to-bed-after-night-wakings#post-1295583 Sat, 21 Dec 2013 10:49:42 +0000 .twist. 1295583@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Sometimes. Definitely worse when my husband works nights! E other night he worked and I was up for no reason from 1:30 - 4:30!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-have-trouble-going-back-to-bed-after-night-wakings#post-1295582 Sat, 21 Dec 2013 10:49:34 +0000 lawbee11 1295582@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, but last night was the worst! M woke up around 1 and I nursed her and as I was burping her (she was already asleep) she took a big poo. So I had to change her which of course woke her up. Then as I was zipping up her zipadee zip she spit up all over herself! I had already been awake almost an hour by the time I put her back in her crib then it took me almost another hour to fall back to sleep :( I function with coffee! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-have-trouble-going-back-to-bed-after-night-wakings#post-1295566 Sat, 21 Dec 2013 10:30:15 +0000 Greentea 1295566@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Pretty much every time. I have gotten better but what I do now is keep my phone by the bed and go online to sort of destress if I can't sleep. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-have-trouble-going-back-to-bed-after-night-wakings#post-1295501 Sat, 21 Dec 2013 09:34:43 +0000 delight 1295501@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ugh this is so me! I find it so hard to fall asleep after a night feeding. I always have to move to the living room and sleep on the couch. For some reason that helps me fall back to sleep. If she wakes up between 5/6am I can never fall back to sleep. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-have-trouble-going-back-to-bed-after-night-wakings#post-1295475 Sat, 21 Dec 2013 09:18:38 +0000 Foodnerd81 1295475@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@rahlyrah: I'm the same way. At least once a week if not more, I'm just laying there awake. It's so so frustrating, but I try to tell myself that laying down is rest, even if it isn't as good as sleep. But then I look at Dh sleeping soundly and get irrationally annoyed. But yeah, I just can't turn my mind off sometimes and I get so annoyed at myself. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-have-trouble-going-back-to-bed-after-night-wakings#post-1295455 Sat, 21 Dec 2013 08:55:46 +0000 Ra 1295455@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@knittylady: I try that, but I can't shut my mind off. It's so frustrating! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-have-trouble-going-back-to-bed-after-night-wakings#post-1295448 Sat, 21 Dec 2013 08:50:32 +0000 knittylady 1295448@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Sometimes. I just try to think of it like any rest is good. I can't lie in bed with my eyes close and relax when LO is awake so I should take it while I can. Then I eventually fall asleep anyway. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-have-trouble-going-back-to-bed-after-night-wakings#post-1295407 Sat, 21 Dec 2013 07:59:15 +0000 mrbee 1295407@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@rahlyrah: Sounds good, and blast the music if you're driving so that you don't fall asleep!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-have-trouble-going-back-to-bed-after-night-wakings#post-1295406 Sat, 21 Dec 2013 07:57:53 +0000 Ra 1295406@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrbee: I was thinking LO and I need to make a Starbucks run! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-have-trouble-going-back-to-bed-after-night-wakings#post-1295405 Sat, 21 Dec 2013 07:56:14 +0000 mrbee 1295405@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@rahlyrah: I try to make it 10 minutes at a time! Plus, coffee!! And staying out of the house... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-have-trouble-going-back-to-bed-after-night-wakings#post-1295400 Sat, 21 Dec 2013 07:43:31 +0000 Ra 1295400@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've suffered from insomnia on and off my entire life. At least once a week, I have trouble going back to sleep after feeding B. I've been up since 3 am and am running on 3 hours sleep. I have no idea how I'm going to make until 10-11am when my husband wakes up!</p> <p>Does anyone else have this problem? Any tips on how to function when you feel like a zombie? </p>
