I need SLEEP...

Ok, this is more of a question, than a discussion topic. I am 14 1/2 weeks along, and all I want to do is sleep. I was like that before I got pregnant, but it's worse now because no matter what I do, I can't seem to sleep through the night. It will take my almost 2 hours to fall asleep, but then I only sleep for about an hour.
Any help? Techniques? Advice? Extra hours you might be willing to give up?

Insomnia is something I've been struggling with since I was about 15, and it gets worse when your pregnant....my doc told me to get the regular over the counter Unisom....it won't hurt the baby at all, and it isn't one that causes dependency....it is a bit on the pricy side for one box of like 8 pills, but it worked really well for me! Its worth a try but as always, talk to your ob first!

benadryl! that was my best friend for sleep, my dr recommended it too  

I feel the same way. I loved to sleep before I got pregnant but now I HAVE to sleep. But the funny thing is I can only sleep during the night. I can't sleep during the night. I wonder what's wrong? 

I wish over-the-counters before, including benadryl...nothing works. Sleep has always been my best friend, and thats one friendship I do not want to end. I know that at some point during pregnancy, it's like the baby is "preparing" you for the sleepless nights to come, but not this early.
