Also, have you tried a white noise machine for yourself? Worked for me. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pregnancy-insomnia-1#post-1703435 Mon, 16 Jun 2014 15:15:18 +0000 Happygal 1703435@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>A friend swears by this Arbonne Essentials Sleep Well Spray.

I also do Epsom salt baths with a few drops of lavender and it's heaven. Lavender is supposed to be very calming and relaxing. I actually use it for tons of stuff...cuts, burns, bites, etc. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pregnancy-insomnia-1#post-1703177 Mon, 16 Jun 2014 14:02:04 +0000 regberadaisy 1703177@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@jojepie: lol pretty much all scented lotions and such from bath bath and body gives me a horrible headache! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pregnancy-insomnia-1#post-1703175 Mon, 16 Jun 2014 14:00:56 +0000 winniebee 1703175@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had it horrible with T. Wouldn't fall asleep til 3 am and had to get up for work at 7. So, I took unisom. It helped me fall asleep better though I did still get up to pee frequently. Nothing else worked. I tried reading, teas, showering before bed etc. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pregnancy-insomnia-1#post-1703154 Mon, 16 Jun 2014 13:55:27 +0000 Mrs. Cheesecake 1703154@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@locavore_mama: i love the scent of lavender so i don't consider it too strong. here's a link below to the specific scent i use. there's a whole line of them at BnBW so check it out. :happy: </p> <p><a href="http://www.bathandbodyworks.com/product/index.jsp?productId=11669883&#038;cp=12586965.12587148.16867236" rel="nofollow">http://www.bathandbodyworks.com/product/index.jsp?productId=11669883&#038;cp=12586965.12587148.16867236</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pregnancy-insomnia-1#post-1703135 Mon, 16 Jun 2014 13:46:39 +0000 regberadaisy 1703135@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@emg86: @jojepie: ooh lavender.

Last night I was dead tired but could not fall asleep till almost 1:30am.</p> <p>It's 1:20p now and I'm struggling to keep my eyes open at work. </p> <p>Any tips? </p>
