What causes sleeplessness during pregnancy?

I'm finding it really hard to sleep properly these days, even though I'm so tired. What are the common reasons for sleeplessness during pregnancy, and is it normal?

Actually, hormonal changes and that heavy tummy make it so hard to sleep, yaar. I used to just watch random videos at 3 AM!

It's often due to lack of physical movement or indigestion. I did light prenatal yoga and evening walks, only after my doc approved, and it really helped my sleep quality.

Pregnancy hormones and a constantly full bladder will definitely keep you awake. It's totally normal, hang in there!

For me, it was the constant urge to pee and finding a comfortable sleeping position. I just had to accept that my sleep pattern was going to be messy.

I couldn't sleep because of constant worrying and anxiety about the baby's safety. If your mind is racing, try listening to soothing music and speak to your doctor if it's too much.
