How can I cope or treat my insomnia during pregnancy?
Try new sleeping positions.
Prepare yourself for bedtime by taking a warm bath or receiving a nice massage.
Set up your room for a comfortable sleep setting. Try changing your thermostat to a comfortable temperature and playing some relaxing or natural sounds that can help make you sleepy.
Try relaxation techniques, such as the ones you may have learned in a childbirth class.
If you still cannot fall asleep, you may consider getting up. You can try reading a book, eating a small snack, or drinking some warm milk.
Exercise regularly during the day.
If you have the opportunity to sleep during the day, you should take it. However, long naps may interfere with your sleeping schedule at night.
