sleeping problem- mine, advice please
ladies I have a problem & I don't know what to do. I stopped my 1am pumping session 2 wks ago so that I could get more sleep. Well I have yet to get anymore sleep. I lay down at 10:30 after pumping/cleaning up & I lay there & lay there & lay there. Last night I looked at the clock & it said 2:07am! I have to get up at 5:30. I am exhausted! I am cranky! I need sleep! I don't drink caffiene (ok rarely & if I do it is at like 2 in the afternoon). I make sure not to have a sugary late snack. I have tried deep breathing & counting sheep. My mind just waunders & waunders.. what can I do? I NEED SLEEP!

You may want to talk to your doc/OB. I suffered from "lite" insomnia after having DS -- nothing too overwhelming, but at least one night a month I'd be up at all hours. Two friends of mine had similar issues, but much worse -- weeks on end they'd go without sleep. My mom had it after having me.
From what I understand, it's pretty common as our hormones adjust post pg. With the changes you've made to your BFing schedule, your homones may be going through an adjustment.

may sound strange..
I stopped taking my vitamins right before bed this weekend & I slept alot better! I was not online at all this weekend, so I actually got some things done around the house! And with all that I did I was busy (a form of exercise). so maybe with all that going on, I finally made myself tireder (is that a word?) thank you for all the suggestions!
