Starting at the end of last week I wake up every night around 2 or 3 and am just awake. I'm a little uncomfortable, sometimes really hungry, but mostly WIDE awake. It's so annoying. I find myself tossing and turning from side to side begging myself for sleep. I have tried to counteract this by making sure I have a glass of milk before I go to bed so I don't get hungry but I still wake up. I bought myself a body pillow awhile ago and that has worked like a charm up until now. I just can't seem to figure out what it is. All I know is that I'm super annoyed by it. When I wake up I internally groan and think "Not again!". People I just want my SLEEP.
Did any of you experience the third-trimester insomnia? How did you deal with it? I would love to hear any tricks or suggestions you have!

I dealt with it, but I don't have any cures. Sorry!!!
We've come across many cases of prenatal (and postnatal) insomnia, too - like many sleep disorders, it's something that doesn't get enough attention. If you can share any tips, please get in touch - we want to increase the awareness and education of sleep disorders through collaboration.
oooh did i ever!! i found that getting out and taking a longish walk would wear me out so i slept a little better...but that didnt always help. also not napping at all...but then i was just plain tired and cranky by about 6 pm.
