i'm sick of myself and sick of this problem- and mostly just sick of being utterly exhausted and on the verge of breaking down many days of the week. tried acupuncture, helpful but getting expensive. i read ''say goodnight to insomnia'', which many BPN folks recommend. other sleep aids, including herbal, aren't recommended for breastfeeding moms. i took ambien a few times but it really made me feel depressed. i did a kaiser class on CBT and though it was helpful, i'm having trouble breaking the cycle. not particularly stressed about anything but sleep itself has become the stress. i will be awake for hours on end, and sometimes the entire night. i have no reserves left and basically feel like i'm losing my mind. now i'm back with jetlag and the insomnia. I was on a pretty good stretch and then we took a trip to france which messed everything up. It's been pretty consistent now- I'll have trouble for a week or so, then it will go away for a few days, then come back, etc. My 14 month old is finally a great sleeper and i'm having such a hard time. Sleep has always been a source of stress for me, for whatever reason. I have been experiencing bad insomnia and related anxiety about it for almost 4 months now.
