The last week or two I've had a really hard time falling asleep. Like I will lay there or toss and turn for hours. Once asleep I'm asleep all night. I'm not sure if it's just anxiety about returning to work, that I'm afraid I won't hear DD, hormones (although I guess those should be leveling off by now at ten weeks pp), or that DD and DH snore. Did you have the same problem? Help! I'm exhausted and just want to sleep.

I had a hard time sleeping at first as well. Once we moved her into her own room it got a little easier. Now I take calcium and magnesium before I go to bed and I find it makes a huge difference.

@MrsB2012: I'll have to look into calcium and magnesium.
Anyone else? I got an hour of sleep and my kid slept for 8 - please help

This happened to me, I couldn't turn off my brain! I started reading before bed and that helped. I also try to get into bed early. Sorry you are going through this, nothing more frustrating then having your house asleep while you lay awake.

@MrsH: has your sleep improved any? I sure hope so!
I have had some anxiety about going to sleep. I am afraid I won't hear LO or something will happen to him.

I hope your situation improved! I had the same issue, and it turns out that I had post partum anxiety. I hope you're feeling better and getting some rest!!

I've heard some people take melatonin to help with this. Good luck!
