I'm finding it really hard to sleep these days, even though I'm tired. Insomnia is becoming a big problem during my pregnancy. What are some effective ways to prevent or manage sleeplessness?
Since PCOS had already messed with my hormones, sleep was tricky. I just kept a strict routine, cut down on evening tea, and tried to sleep at the same time daily.
I understand how difficult it is to rest when your mind is constantly active. Try playing soft music or doing deep breathing exercises before sleeping to calm your mind.
My mother told me to take a warm bath before sleeping, which was relaxing. But I still asked my doctor if doing light stretches before bed was okay, and she highly recommended it.
I know how frustrating it is to lie awake staring at the ceiling and worrying about the baby. Try not to force sleep, just read a book or listen to calming sounds to soothe your mind.
