    Hi,

    Sadly I don't have any advice on the matter, I can only say that I've been fighting the same battle for about two years now. I've had insomnia before in the sense that I had trouble fallung asleep, but once I would fall asleep, I would sleep for as long as I needed.

    Now, this new kind of insomnia is real torture, and there's nothing I can do about it except take pills when I wake in the middle of the night, which I'm sure isn't the rifht option for anyone, especially for you due to your pregnancy.

    I dont't think your lack of sleep will affect the baby in any way, it just makes your life harder.

    Hey Sasha, each pregnancy can have different effects for us. I would suggest to try and take a short nap, even for 15 minutes, around noon time.

    Try some calming nature sounds and keeping your eyes closed even if you haven't fallen asleep.
