1794093 tn?1357930759 I definitely understand the sleep deprivation. It really ***** :( I work overnights and have a terrible time trying to sleep during the morning/afternoons. Im also up every hour, or hour and a half, then still manage to work/do things around the house. I always thought the 2nd trimester was supposed to be the best, sure i dont feel sick anymore, but this has been brutal for sleep. Thats exciting about your ultrasound coming up, and really exciting that you are not finding out the gender!
1926359 tn?1331588139 m going down by a third a week-the doc said this was ambitious but I really want to be free so there you have it. If I can get a few nights good sleep I will be prepared to deal with the sleep deprivation again....Ugh. So easy to put in your body...so hard to get out. Wish me luck with the sleep fairies tonight....
Avatar f tn As a teenager I went through a year of sleep deprivation. I got about six hours of sleep a night. I felt very sleepy every day and even had feelings of confusion and derealization. Did I cause any permanent damage to my brain? In addition, has damage caused by oxidative stress and free radicals irreversibly increased my cancer risk?
Avatar m tn I already was struggling with poor sleep due to sleep apnea that was undiagnosed at the time. At work my responsibilities increased and I was constantly rehashing in my mind the various decisions I had to make in selecting and writing specs for a data management software conversion. Then an extended family member was killed in the military and I had to plan the local service while the parents were out of state at the memorials on the base.
Avatar f tn ✋✋ I can't sleep idk y
Avatar n tn There not sure why warm milk help sleep as tryptophan only helps with the initial cycle of sleep but can disrupt deep sleep, but you may want to try it to help you get to sleep initially just only drink a small glass. There is something called Lactium in milk which relaxes infants but there is an all natural medication called dreamerz food that contains a consentrated amount of Lactium(enough for an adult) along with melatonin that has gotten alot of great attention.

6691229 tn?1392139790 What triggers yours? Mine is triggered by sleep deprivation and I know during labor you're up for hours and tired. Mine is also hereditary so im hoping it skips my sons generation.
Avatar f tn t fix the sore boobs and cramping lol, but works wonders for the sleep deprivation. I know Conner will sleep good later on because he gets circumsized today, so I can always nap when the kids do. My boobs on the other hand...KILL lol I am finally engorged, and I found that out when hubby accidently elbowed my boob in my sleep....tell ya what, I wasn't asleep long lol. I tried nursing, and he just isn't doing it.
8716921 tn?1402659268 I would love to just get a few hours uninterrupted before my baby gets here and the real sleep deprivation starts. Is anyone else feeling the need to wake uo every few hours to switch positions and how could I exclude my field trips to the rest room.
362119 tn?1223137936 Taking care of a newborn is a full-time task. Make sure that you are resting when the baby sleeps, as sleep deprivation can also cause you to be very edgy. You are not alone. Alot of mother's can tell you that they have experienced the same thing. Including this mother. Please keep us updated on how you are feeling. There are many people here to listen.
171867 tn?1271044148 m totally hearing you about sleep deprivation. I think your body does okay w/out too much sleep for a while but then it gets a little feisty & demands rest just when you can't. I'm like you - the 1st feeding's okay but the 2nd one is horrible. Try to let dh take that 3:00-5:00 a.m. feeding - will that work?
774736 tn?1311331385 I was diagnosed with GAD earlier this year and have gone through horrific panic attacks, agoraphobia, and many other anxiety related nightmares but lately Ive been struggling with sleep deprivation...Every day for the past couple months I have not been able to sleep at a reasonable hour...I have to completely exaust myself to finally get to sleep and before I do, I go through a period of feeling "under the influence", as if im drunk or high...
Avatar n tn They tried to hold out and insist that he sleep in his own room, but because they were concerned about their own severe sleep deprivation, they started letting him sleep on their bedroom floor. Any ideas for dealing with his stated "fear of his own bedroom" and ideas for coaxing the six year old back into his own room? Thank you!
410281 tn?1254229064 It's possible. Sleep deprivation causes a generalized nervous system excitability which can manifest in various muscle twitches and spasms. Mirapex (which is also used for Parkinson's) acts in your central nervous system to control your nervous system problems. Did you ever treat your sleep apnea? And if so, how was it treated?
Avatar n tn For the last 6 weeks he has been off work following an accident which in my view was a direct result of sleep deprivation. His employer (a large well known logistics firm) schedule drivers' shifts on a weekly basis bearing no similarity to the previous week, Shifts are quite different from one week to the next. Drivers may start at 3 am one week or even 1 pm the next and consequently they are required to adjust their sleeping patterns accordingly.
Avatar f tn Congrats!!! I remember those days... I have had two kids by csection... I don't know where you live but what about walking with your little one in the stroller. Remember now that your little one is in your arms and not in your belly your calorie in take should go down and you should lose some of the weight that way. My youngest is 16 mnths old... Good luck...
Avatar m tn 30 or so, only getting around 4 hours of sleep. I tried to get back to sleep but the people around me were up and keeping me awake. After a while of me laying in bed, everyone left except one friend, and me and him layed around all day being too tired to do anything, but not wanting to sleep the day away. That whole day I felt pretty normal.
