It’s 10 past 3 in the morning and I’m so restless. It’s unbearable. Any advice anyone?
drink a glass of milk, it will relax you
Have you tried getting up and walking around a little.
Sleeping at this stage of your pregnancy is always a challenge.
I would always eat something (of course) and walk around for a few minutes.
Made me sleepy enough.

When I can’t go to sleep, I put on relaxing music, lay down, and turn off as many lights as I can.
Hope this helps. Take care.
I guess I don’t where you are Spider but UK I’m guessing. I take gabapentine or neurotin to get rid of the restlessness. Works good.
Hopefully you’ve slept by now, but if you take a whole banana, peel and all, and boil it for 10-15 minutes, then drink the water it’ll help you fall asleep. Seems crazy, but I have a friend that swore by it and it’s worked a few times when I tried it.
This might not be a good idea if you wake someone up but I sleep best after a hot shower.
Take after dogs and cats…they get a bit wired they get up and walk around a bit!!!
I always think of my cat…I still get mild akathisia after taking my meds at night and often, if it’s bad, I’ll get up and do some walking…works a treat!
Thanks everyone, managed to get to sleep in the end. But glad I have these tips for next time, which is inevitable!

Could it be medication related? I get very bad akathisia with my Abilify, so I take Artane to ameliorate it.
