I just put my son (10 weeks) to bed at 8pm. I wish I could fall asleep, too! I know they say that moms should go to bed when their lo goes to bed to lessen sleep deprivation. What do you do when your body is tired but your mind is not?. What are some tips/things you do to help yourself fall asleep at the same time as lo?

Tylenol PM... I have to have it when I feel like that.

I always feel like I should go to bed with him too but I can't make myself at 7:30. I went to bed at 10:30 last night and he woke at 11:45 -- totally kicking myself for giving up an almost 5-hour stretch of uninterrupted sleep! (And here I am again on HB at 3:45 after he fell back asleep 30 minutes ago.)

@Mrs Hedgehog: I'd be scared I wouldn't wake up when he did! I've been so tempted by benadryl, though. But LO is 6 weeks and definitely not STTN.

@ladyfingers: For me it helps me fall asleep, not stay asleep, which is the hardest part for me when my brain wont turn off. Things can still easily wake me up, like a phone ringing or somebody talking.
