I can't sleep. Simple as that. I'm sooo tired too, but once I hit the pillow my mind starts racing. I don't know why. I'm ahead of the game with all my planning and I have a little less than a year to go.
Of course, its 11 am now and I can fall asleep right here at my desk!
Anyone have any solutions besides sleeping pills?

Drink a cup of SleepyTime Tea at night about a half hour before you get into bed. There is some kind of relaxing herb in there that helps.

Re: Anyone else having trouble sleeping?
I read somewhere that if you do the same thing (like drink a cup of decaf tea or milk) every night right before you go to sleep, your body will begin to interpret it as a signal that indicates it is time to sleep and that is helps people who can't fall asleep when they want to. Never tried it, though.
Tylenol PM works wonders...but maybe you should try some deep breathing, stretching or yoga before bed...

oh my Gosh! Me too! I am a month away today and it started a couple of days ago. I am up all night almost watching whatever is on TV. I hope it ends soon! I have a feeling it will be until the wedding though.

Taking a warm bath before bed always helps me. Also, I have a sleep/meditation cd that I listen to as I fall asleep if I am having trouble. It helps alot.

Re: Anyone else having trouble sleeping?
karen i have the SAME problem,.....Tylenol PM, nothing with caffeine in IT 3 HRS BEFORE BED-iced tea, tea, hot chocolate, soda or coffee. Also, a massage if you live with FH works wonders even if its for a few minutes!

I cant sleep either, infact I feel exhausted the entire time I am at work. Too much on my mind as well! I'll give the sleepy tea a try. :)

Re: Anyone else having trouble sleeping?
Thanks for your responses girls. I've done the bath thing and I've avoided eating and drinking anything before going to bed.
I think I need a vacation!

Cindy, I keep a pen and paper by my bed and when i wake up thinking about something I jot it down. It helps a little.

Re: Anyone else having trouble sleeping?
I have had problems sleeping for a while now. I take 1 tylenol PM and I sleep good. Other wise I am up every hour. I don't take one every night though. Right now I'm working 2 jobs 7 days a week so my mind is always racing. Not to mention worrying about the wedding coming up in 2 months.
