Sleepiness vs sleeplessness?

Man, these hormones are driving my body crazy. I wake up at like 6.45 am., which I never used to unless it was when I was working or a student, and then get super sleepy at around 11 am, and so I take a nap. THEN, I get sleepy at about 11 pm, and go to bed, and spend the rest of the night either waking up, thinking about stuff and making myself NOT able to sleep, or having to pee. ( Lubby hubby goes, "are you sure that symptom starts so early?" Grrrr.

Anyway, it's 3 am and I've been awake for an hour, all hot and my mind going in several different directions, so I thought browse the net a bit and go back to bed when I feel sleepy enuff.

THEN, I get a snack attack, and have to eat something. Good Grief.

Anyway, here's what I found online.....

First Trimester (Months 1-3)

Overall, women have lower quality of sleep during the last trimester of pregnancy. High levels of progesterone are produced, increasing feelings of sleepiness. Also, the enlarged uterus can press up against the diaphragm, making it more difficult to breathe. The number of times a woman wakes up during the night to urinate increases as well. Disturbed sleep patterns may begin. Interrupted sleep can cause daytime sleepiness. Women tend to sleep more during this time than before they were pregnant, or later in pregnancy.

Sleeplessness

Sleeping difficulties are common during pregnancy and lead to fatigue during the day. In early pregnancy low blood sugar levels as a results from hunger and nausea may cause insomnia. As pregnancy progresses many women are unable to relax fully in bed due to general discomfort, leg cramps, or worry about the baby. Symptoms include difficulty in falling asleep, restless unrefreshed sleep with periods of awakeness and fatigue and irritability during day

Increased Heart Rate
Because your body is pumping more blood to your uterus, your heart rate will increase and make you feel more alert and less sleepy.

Early Insomnia

Insomnia during the first trimester of pregnancy is usually quite common and is usually as a result of the hormonal changes. One of the main causes of insomnia is a result of the progesterone which is released. Progesterone is a natural sedative, which leads to women feeling tired and often fall asleep at hours which are not in their normal sleeping cycle, which leaves them wide awake when they are supposed to be sleeping. This also explains why fatigue is one of the common pregnancy symptoms.

Of course there may be other factors as well, such as stress, being worried about both yours and your baby's health, financial worries and for most, the fear of miscarriage
