Insomnia

[mrsukyankee]

I can't decide if the insomnia, peeing when I cough/sneeze or horrible breakthrough bleeding is the worst symptom of perimenopause.  But today it's the insomnia which is kicking my butt.  It's not like my insomnia of youth, when I had racing thoughts - it's like my body just decides that it can't sleep. I try all my usual things for insomnia and not a single thing works. Sigh. I think I got about 3 hours max tonight.

I'm sorry, that is just the worst.  I spent many a night in our "chair and a half" chair to help me sleep.  I don't know why it helped me sleep, maybe just kind of enveloped me like the rock and play does for babies.  

Good luck, mrsukyankee, I hope this passes soon.

I have a hard time falling asleep but once I"m out I'm good until I have to pee. I hope this phase passes by quickly.
