Is anyone else worried...

Original post by Butterfly123

that theyre not gonna get a WINK of sleep the night before the wedding? Im a borderline insomniac and extremely anxious as it is and when I have something big the next day, I get maybe 2 hours of sleep tops. Im so worried Im gonna have the darkest circles under my eyes the day of the wedding. Im thinking of maybe taking sleeping pills just that night. Does anyone worry that they wont be able to sleep the night before?

Oooooh I forgot about Tylenol PM's! Those things are magical!



Advil PM are great!!



How about I take Advil PM Tylenol PM and Ambien!!!
Thats what I feel like its gonna take to get me to sleep that night. but maybe I should try and stay alive so I wont ruin everything



No worries, just drink like 8 redbulls in the morning... that should keep you going

I do worry about this but I also think I am going to be so tired from all of the running around the few days before that a glass of wine should do the trick.

I plan on (but I am sure that will change) getting up EARLY the day before, hitting the gym going for mani/pedi and then finishing up so I am nice and tired.

Hopefully that works!!!!!

YES its one of the few things I worry about...I am the same way, i am an insomniac and go to bed late even when i have to be up early...BUT i am even worse when i have something big the next day, such as a trip or anything im excited about, i cant even imagine for the wedding how i'll be...a couple nights before im gonna make sure i get VERY little sleep so this way the next night im exhausted and go to bed early and hopefully be able to go to bed early the few nights before

Thats a good idea! Trying to get as little sleep as possible a few days before and then getting to sleep extra early on the eve of the wedding. I might have to try this. My work schedule has made my sleeping even worse. Last night I got home at 3:30 and fell asleep at 5 and even at 5 I had to force myself. If I didnt have such bad under eye circles, I wouldnt worry so much, but I could sleep for 8, 9, 10 hours and still have circles!

I'm worried about it, too. I prolly won't sleep the two nights before the wedding.
I went on a medical mission trip to the Dominican Republic last year and a doc on the trip gave me some Ambien. I normally would never take something like that, but I couldn't sleep there. Anyway, that stuff is AWESOME! I took it for 14 days strait and got great sleep everynight, never drugged or drowsy the next day. When I went off of it, I had not one issue - no withdrawal or sleeplessness. If you're really concerned about it, you could ask your doc for a Rx. Try it out one night a few weeks before the wedding. Everyone's body is different. I am pretty sure I'm going to ask my doc for 3 nights worth.

Re: Is anyone else worried...

I am worried, since I can NEVER sleep the night before anything big. I know I'll probably want to take Tylenol PM, at about 7pm, so that I can be out by like 9pm. I am guesstimating that the hair and makeup ladies will be at my house around 6am, so I'll need an early start on some sleep!

Totally paranoid about it, as it is I can't sleep that well now thinking about everything I have to do. It seems I have the best idea's when I am trying to get to sleep and then I get excited and can't sleep. I think I will def be taking a xanax and staying away from the cofee that day too, I don't want to add to the nerves.

I am nervous just writing this post about it
