Pre wedding insomnia!

Samantha, on June 6, 2017 at 12:45 PM Posted in Fitness and Health 0 8

Over the last two nights I have been lying awake, unable to sleep at night because I'm so excited about the next two weeks!Sleep has never been a problem for me and I anticipated having an issue sleeping the night before the wedding but not two weeks prior. Anyone else experiencing this? Do you have any tips that have helped you sleep despite all the upcoming excitement?!

I've been exercising early in the day and plan on trying sleepy time tea tonight hoping that will help.

    Yes! Me too! I've been listening to audiobooks because it gives my mind something else to focus on. I set the sleep timer, turn off the light and usually manage to fall asleep before the timer stops the audio.

    Honey in your tea will also help! I take Melatonin on the nights I can't seem to fall asleep.

    @Sarah I hadn't thought of that! Sounds like a great idea..I wouldn't want to get out of bed and be productive for fear that I would be up all night but I'm sure that would distract and help. Thanks!

    @Ellen I haven't heard of honey in your tea aside from helping with a cough or sore throat...good to know! Thank you!

    @FutureMrsAK We bought some melatonin for when my FH works the night shift. Does it ever leave you groggy?

    Glad I'm not the only one who suddenly started having this problem. I've always had trouble falling asleep but now I can't seem to stay asleep.

    Melatonin gives me crazy dreams/night terrors. Sleepy time tea and honey sounds like a good idea!

    I read at night or meditate and that usually puts me to sleep.

    The past couple of nights I keep waking up at 3AM stressed out of my mind about little, pointless things. I am usually a great sleeper.

    I get insomnia when I'm stressed or just when I'm really busy so I take zzquil! It's non habit forming and just helps you fall asleep and stay asleep. I swear by it. I was about to collapse a few weeks ago from sleep deprivation because I couldn't shut my brain up and was waking up constantly so my mom dragged me to the store with her when she was visiting and made me buy some haha. It's saved my life many a night, I wish I had taken it last night! It doesn't usually leave me drowsy if I take it and go to bed early. If I take it I make sure I have enough time to get 9 hours of sleep or it's a little hard to get up in the morning.
