Insomnia
Why do I wake up in the middle of the night...only to start thinking about all the things that need to be done or all the things I haven't done but should or all the people I should pray for or why I haven't gotten a babysitter yet or ...it's not like I can fix these things at 2:29am! Sleep sweet sleep please come quickly! Does anyone else have this problem? I have NO problem falling asleep at night...just staying asleep. Once I'm up, it's at least another hour or two before I fall asleep again! I'm so tired!

Oh honey, you should have called me... I was still up!
Yep. And yep. I'm up all hours 'o the night. And I can only get to sleep drugged.
When I'm stressed or anxious about something, I wake up in the middle of the night and can't get back to sleep. Lately, I just wake up at 5:30 or 6:00 and am up. I usually pray - not about everything, everyone, and their brother - but about the specific thing I'm stressing over. And I ask God to help me to give my anxiety over to Him and let me sleep.
only when i'm pregnant and it drives me bananas. Does this happen every night?
4-5 nights of the week, yes! Not always I go in spurts...I guess it's when something or too many things are on my min.
Count me in, too. I have severe insomnia & have for 20 years. It's awful - especially for someone who loves her bed & lovesssssssss to sleep. Some night, severe nights, I never go to sleep at all. And I take no medication to help (because I take other medications & they might counteract). So my friend, I feel for ya! I know how awful it is! Maybe we should start cleaning while awake....? :)
ok, none of you will like me, but i never have that problem. i am such a sound sleeper and don't have problems getting to sleep or staying asleep. sorry, but i love it.
melissa,
I have the insomnia problem. In fact hot momma often "yells" (not really) at me because I haven't gone to bed the night before! I have done the cleaning thing while I'm awake, but now that I'm blogging, I just do that!
Hey Mommy brain, are you up yet? I need Kathy's phone number
I have the same problem.. I soemtimes use my radio to help me go back to sleep.. There are some pretty bizzar radio shows on at 3:00 AM Yes falling asleep is no problem, just staying asleep is.
