[blparent] question about insomnia

[Jo Elizabeth Pinto]

Hi.  It's one o'clock in the morning, and I'm dead tired and wide awake--again.  I struggled with insomnia before I got pregnant, but the whole time I was carrying and then nursing, it seemed like I could go to sleep if I just stayed still for a moment.  As soon as I stopped nursing, bam!  No more peaceful sleep.  I'm wondering if any of you other moms experience anything like that.  I get my best work done at night, but all this wakefulness makes me feel like the walking dead.
