Anyone have trouble sleeping w/ Wedding Stress?

Re: Anyone have trouble sleeping w/ Wedding Stress?

It is completely normal. I've had dreams that we forgot to get our marriage license and had a 'fake ceremony and reception' becuase we weren't truly married. Also had one about my hair and nail girl never showing and my nails and hair were done like 1 hour before the wedding. Just try to do a little each day and don't stress too much. I keep telling myself things will work out in the end and will be perfect. Good luck!!

Re: Anyone have trouble sleeping w/ Wedding Stress?

This just started happening to me. I have had some strange dreams. In one dream about the wedding my dress and all the BM's dresses were way too short, the limo's dropped everyone off to the wrong RH and we had to share our reception with another bride and groom. My favorite part of this dream was my sister and friend, who are both in the wedding decided that they had to leave the wedding because they needed cigerettes....this is hysterical because neither one smokes These dreams are getting crazy, I don't know if I can take 4 more months of this

Re: Anyone have trouble sleeping w/ Wedding Stress?

I can feel your pain! My wedding nightmares have begun. Nightmares about everything and anything, like that I had the wrong day written down, that none of the vendors showed up. When I told FH about them he asked me if he always showed up and when I said yes, he told me that's all I need to worry about. Can you tell he hasn't been much help during all of the planning?

Re: Anyone have trouble sleeping w/ Wedding Stress?

A few weeks ago- some of you may remember- I'd wake up regularly at 5am and couldn't get back to sleep. I started taking benadryl before bed and I think it's working. Though my one friend thinks it's not a good idea for me to be using it every night. I think if you take it for a few nights, get yourself back on a sleeping schedule, then you can wean yourself off of it....

I'm sorry! It really is the worst feeling!! You'll get past it! What really knocked me out of it was my bachelorette party! I had no sleep that night, so the next day I slept 10 hours!

I am not so much having trouble sleeping, just weird dreams. Last night I had a dream that I forgot to pick up my dress, I was at the place (which wasn't realy my RH but it was) and I went in the closet to put on my dress, and I realized I never picked it up. I hadn't even gone for any fittings...which is actually the same in real life.

Re: Anyone have trouble sleeping w/ Wedding Stress?

YES!!! I can't stay asleep! I wake up all night and am wide awake when I do!

Re: Anyone have trouble sleeping w/ Wedding Stress?

Re: Anyone have trouble sleeping w/ Wedding Stress?

I don't sleep - I've been falling asleep around 3, 3:30, wake up at 6, force myself to go back to sleep, wake up groggy.

I never actually thought it was the wedding....but maybe...

Re: Anyone have trouble sleeping w/ Wedding Stress?

I usually can get in some good sleep on the weekends (8 or 9 hours) but lately if I just roll over I wake up even if its 7AM and once I'm up I'm thinking of things to do, I just can't get back to sleep!!! it's insane!! I really miss sleep!!

Re: Anyone have trouble sleeping w/ Wedding Stress?

Yup...no sleep here...I'm a teacher so I'm off in the summer and don't have to worry about 'performing' during the day...fall asleep really late, and am up really early...keep thinking I'll nap during the afternoon, but not yet.. My fiance says the best night sleep I am going to get is our wedding night b/c I will finally relax...

Re: Anyone have trouble sleeping w/ Wedding Stress?

It is normal.... I didn't sleep well until our HM. The day before the wedding I slept for about 5 hours and was nervous as can be! The days before that, I slept maybe 5 hours each day. I hardly ate...my family kept nagging me to sleep and eat but I just didn't have any desire to do so!

Re: Anyone have trouble sleeping w/ Wedding Stress?

I know what you mean! I can't fall asleep at night sometimes because I'm so excited that the wedding is this week and I feel all this adrenaline in my system already! I'm sure I won't be able to sleep at all the night before! It's weird but I don't feel any stress though, actually I did a few months ago, but as I finished all the planning, the stress went away... I hope that happens to you!

Re: Anyone have trouble sleeping w/ Wedding Stress?

HA! Why do you think i am awake now! I have literally lay in bed for hours, till like 3 or 4 a.m. not being able to sleep...The only thing that helps me sleep is if I have a glass of wine an hour before I go to bed...but I try to avoid doing that seeing as how it would be a real shame if I turned into an alcholic right before my wedding!

You should take Melatonin. Its a natural sleep aid found in the vitamin aisle. It works well.
