I can honestly say that both FH and I have not been sleeping much lately. We both toss and turn every night and wake up so exhausted. I know it's anxiety about the wedding but this is ridiculous. Any suggestions besides sleeping pills?

Re: Not sleeping.!!
I hope this doesnt sound too harsh -- but maybe some more lovin-- aka.. between the sheets.. that always helps me get to sleep faster!!!

Awww!! I go through this at times as well...anxiety induced insomnia! The only thing that works for me is working out at night. Running or any other type of cardio to the point where I'm exhausted. I hope you guys get to sleep soon!!

Re: Not sleeping.!!
sorry to hear that- it stinks- i know you dont want sleeing pills but you should consider it
i take sleeping pills- i will take 2 of the regular strength CVS brand- works great
i tried out the Simply Sleep stuff...it left me groggy in the morning
definitely use the CVS brand pills- they are gentle and work great

OH, Jaime I am sorry to hear that! Make sure you are not drinking anything with Caffeine at night. Also, try putting on some relaxing music at concentrate on the music. That works for me when I can't sleep. The lovin idea isn' t bad either!!

FH is sleeping just fine, but I've been having the same issue.... Monday night I didn't fall asleep until after 4 in the AM. Last night, I fell asleep pretty easily (likely bc I was exhausted!!!), but woke up at 4. I ended up getting up and working on my invitations bc I was so wide awake....
I may have to try out those CVS pills if this keeps up!!

Sorry to hear that Jaime! Those are all good suggestions. Sometimes I have trouble falling asleep too, a sip of wine will usually do the trick. If not, FH will put his arm around me real tight and rock me to sleep, kinda like you rock a baby. Or he'll rub my back or my head, it works!
Either that or come knock on our door and we'll have an insomniac party!!

Reading in bed helps me to relax.

I have been having the same problem. I went to the doctors and he precsribed me Ambien, which I don't take because I hear its addicting. He also suggested to write down whatever is on my mind before I go to bed. I have not done this, so I can't say if it works....but maybe you can be the guinee pig and let me know

I have been tossing and turning lately myself. It suxs!!!!!!!!!!
I just have so many thing going through my mind, that I have to do or get done. But, eventually I fall asleep. I just try to relax my whole body and then sleep usually kicks in.
There was some good suggestions mentioned.
I hope you both get sleep soon.

Aww, Jaime, sorry to hear this. You could join the late night cheese crew.
Seriously though, when I have trouble sleeping I have these little beads that go in a pouch that I hold in one hand and breathe in the aroma.

YOur living together right? Well if you are, remember, all the wedding is, is a big party! You're pretty much living as man and wife. This is just one big party your throwing, so try not to see it as anything more than that. It was different yrs ago, where you wore a chasity belt until the day the got you married and you moved far away from your family that you wouldn't see ever again to live with your husbands family. Times have changed. Try not to stress out.

My mom has pretty bad insomnia and her doctor told her to take tylenol pm when it happens. I've also heard warm milk is supposed to help...but I don't know how appetizing that sounds.
Have you tried counting sheep? (just kidding)
