I'm a teacher, and I was pregnant during the school year, so I always had plenty to do. I'm not sure it was good for my mental health though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-do-when-you-have-pregnancy-insomnia#post-1994556 Mon, 22 Dec 2014 14:40:06 +0000 ineebee 1994556@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I toss and turn for a while, and when I realize that it's going to be a while, I take out my phone and journal a little. Getting my jumble of thoughts out seems to help sometimes. Sometimes I get a snack, etc. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-do-when-you-have-pregnancy-insomnia#post-1994466 Mon, 22 Dec 2014 13:19:18 +0000 Anya 1994466@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If I have work the next day I'll just lay there, if it's a weekend I might read or put the TV on low </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-do-when-you-have-pregnancy-insomnia#post-1994463 Mon, 22 Dec 2014 13:16:14 +0000 MapleMoose 1994463@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I get up and work.

It lets you turn the brightness way down so doesn't actually make things worse. The key is finding books that are interesting enough to get a little enjoyment out of but not so interesting that they actually keep you awake. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-do-when-you-have-pregnancy-insomnia#post-1994335 Mon, 22 Dec 2014 11:34:49 +0000 Mama Bird 1994335@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Knitting, or surfing the web.

I've even taken to shopping on Amazon for boring stuff like a carpet pad for under a rug or undershirts for DH. </p> <p>What do you do when you're wide awake and bored at night? </p>
