I was just laying awake in bed last night thinking the same question. I'm already old I don't need any extra baggage around my eyes!!

Re: ~~ QOTD ~~

I think I'll be able to sleep, I'll probably just wake up super early-I'm always up by 7am, even on my day off!

Re: ~~ QOTD ~~

I normally have no problem whatsoever falling asleep! i pretty much can fall asleep anywhere any time! (i've fallen asleep at a concert, party at my friends house with screaming guys watching boxing) The best man even mentioned he was excited i stayed awake to hear his speech in his speech!
i knew the night before the wedding i was going to have a problem! i was too excited and too anxious!! so i popped some benadyrl...
whenever i take benadryl i always wake up feeling like i had the best sleep of my life...so i figured that was what would happen..

well not quite...
i did fall asleep, but it took kinda a long time...i literally didnt wanna think about not being able to sleep so i just kept my eyes closed until it eventually happend..and i knew i slept the whole night thru but i woke up feeling like it wasnt a deep good sleep like i was hoping for!

should have popped something stronger! lol

Re: ~~ QOTD ~~

I took a Simply Sleep (just 1, you’re supposed to take 2.) I was in bed by like 12 and slept til about 6:30, which was WAY more sleep than I thought I’d get!

Re: ~~ QOTD ~~

I put a movie in in my room and I actually fell asleep fairly quickly. Our rehearsal dinner was ridiculously long and exhausting so I was beat by the time I got home. (thats a story for my review)... But I woke up at about 3am and couldn't go back to sleep. I was to excited and nervous. I just let it go and I made up for it in Hawaii. I didn't look or feel tired at all at the wedding despite less sleep.

I wouldn't take a pill. They usually make me feel a little groggy the next day and you don't want to feel that way at your wedding.

Re: ~~ QOTD ~~

I slept like a baby. I had my rehearsal dinner the night before and was running around all day dropping things off so I was very tired by the end of the night.

Re: ~~ QOTD ~~

It was funny..most of my girls stayed with me the night before, we painted our nails...took pictures...talked about the wedding and they were all passing out about 1am and I was WIDE awake. I couldnt sleep. SO, of course I just got on the computer (LIW of COURSE!) and then I wore myself out

I wouldnt suggest taking anything because it might make you feel out of it in the morning. Read a book...watch tv, whatever helps you to fall asleep.

Re: ~~ QOTD ~~

I think it might take me a while, but overall I'll fall asleep fairly quickly. I'm sure I'll be physically and mentally exhausted...my bigger fear is that I won't want to get up the next morning

Re: ~~ QOTD ~~

I thought i'd be wired that night, but I surprised myself. I was actually pretty calm. It helped that the day before we had a lot of family come over and then my OOT BM spent the night. I'd had quite a few glasses of wine and it kept me calm lol. (not enough to be hung over- I have a friend that was hung over & puking on her wedding morning!) I stayed up later than expected but I fell asleep pretty quickly.

Re: ~~ QOTD ~~

I thought for sure that I wouldn't sleep! But there had been a lot of excitement the few days leading up to the wedding, nights when I didn't go to sleep until 3 am, days when I got up early so the night before I was tired but excited. I fell asleep the night before for about three hours. After that, every time I started to drift I woke up and looked at the clock! But three hours was enough with all the adrenaline. I didn't want to chance popping a pill, I went to bed at 11 and had to get up at 4 am. I didn't want to be zombified.

If anything, you can try taking a low dose Melatonin.

Re: ~~ QOTD ~~

Actually myself and DH were rehearsing our first dance, lol. We had nothing prepared. Then, all of my BM's were my assembling team for the favors. We end up staying all night..yes the day before the wedding day to finish up the DIY projects (place tags, etc.). It was really crazy. And we had to be up in the morning at 8am. We didn't sleep til like 4am.

Re: ~~ QOTD ~~

I was totally worried about that!!!! I definitely didn't get as much sleep as I'd hoped to the night before (especially considering the alarm was set for 5:30 am).... we went to bed around 11 and I probably got about 6 hours of sleep which is totally enough for me. I got up a few times during the night excited beyond belief and finally I just got up and showered so at least DH could get some more sleep (we stayed at the hotel together the nights before and after).

It all worked out great -- I wasn't tired at all the whole day. Hello, adrenaline!
