I am getting married in 4 days... how am I supposed to sleep!?

Lambbop

Any other wedding-induced insomniac brides?

Wow! Good luck!

I have managed to contain my wedding mess to 1 room now instead of having a little mess in each of 3 rooms. I'd be going nuts if I had to worry about packing everything!

FI's parents arrive tomorrow and I am not exactly looking forward to it. She puts the FML in FMIL. I'm glad I'm working tomorrow to kind of get away from her... though I wish I could hang out with my family more.

Most of my wedding stuff is in my walk in closet. I really need to clean it and organize it. I am getting married in 24 days! I am already having problems sleeping and eating ( not hungry). I believe I will be ok a few days before the wedding though. I plan to work 3 days the week of my wedding..the monday, tuesday, and wednesday. So I can relax on Sunday and then make sure everything is packed on Thursday. The Thursday before my wedding is my bachelorette party so I will have to be in New Orleans around 4 pm. The following day will be the day of rehearsal which is at 4. I will have to pass by my florist and drop off some lanterns for centerpieces and pick up the loose lavender and put them into tulle bags with ribbon for the big day. The day of the wedding should go smoothly. hopefully!

I've been dreaming about the wedding everynight. It messes with my sleep sometimes. I sorta can't wait for it to be over!

I have insonmia, legit. I have a prescription from my doctor so I can sleep at night. Typically, I only have to take 1 pill at night and I'm out for the night. Well, last night I knew I was stressed about stuff, so I took two. 5 hours later (at 3am) I had to take another one for me to finally get knocked out. Nothing like being up and at work for 7am!

I'm okay usually with the sleeping, but I've been nonstop eating since school let out.  I need to get it together or I won't fit in my dress.

I've had trouble sleeping for the past few weeks. But this week has been, by far, the worst. My wedding is this Sat and I can just anticipate big fat circles under my eyes from no sleep! Uuuuugh!

I'm not getting enough sleep either. I keep waking up with wedding nightmares, three to five a night. I'm exhausted.

I've been ok with sleeping when I fall asleep - it's just falling asleep thats the hard part...I keep on thinking about some of the random stuff I still need to do. Clean rings, finish putting together programs, write attendents notes....

We cleaned yesterday and organized all of the wedding stuff which helped alot! Not as much clutter!

The dreams are getting more active regarding the wedding & everything that goes with it.  So far I have been able to sleep, but I still have 24 days to go.  I am a very good sleeper, so I think I will be fine - maybe not the night of, but I want to get everything done by the with the week before with the exception of dropping stuff off at the hotel & reception hall (they are only 5 mins from each other).  Fingers crossed that I don't have my FI or FMIL slowing me down - they are procrastinators.   Yesterday my FMIL  tells me that she will look over her side of the family & help my FI do seating arrangements in a few weeks, that I can do the seating arrangement cards the week of, they won't take too long....  Heck no, WTF I want them done before then!!  I may be mailing the cards out to my Aunt in SC to hand write them up since she does nice calligraphy work.  She will be up for my wedding, but I would prefer to give them to her now to write up than wait until she gets to New Jersey & throw the work on her then...

I did some creeping over on the May board, and a LOT of the girls over there recommended melatonin to help with sleep.  I've never tried it, but those of you not opposed to taking medicine or hormones to help you sleep might want to check it out!  I'm definitely going to because the bags under my eyes are getting bigger and bigger.

My whole schedule is off. I'm going to bed a lot later. Of course not sleeping well. I usually get out of bed and run 2 miles but I have been lucky to only go a mile. My poor doggies need excerise. My gym visits have been cut short. I'm a complete mess in focusing at work.

I am USELESS at work! I keep ducking out for phone calls from my mom or vendors. I need to try and take more time off. It's in everyone's best interest!

I've been able to sleep, but I've either been having horrible nightmares or sleeping really poorly.  I'm going to be zonked out the night of the wedding!

Ahahaha MINE TOO!!! She informed me that she's wearing a black and WHITE dress, that is at least half white and is "kind of casual" so she can wear it again. I'm dying inside.

I had my first wedding dream last night... I was trying to get ready, I couldn't find my bridesmaids, my FI or anyone. The only people who were around was my FI best man, and he was helping me search for everyone. Apparently we had some sort of natural disaster (awesome..) and everyone disappeared! BM finally found everyone (who was all ready, and clean, which is weird) and just as everything turns normal again and I start to walk down the aisle... I wake up. Gr.

I just can't get to bed at a reasonable hour trying to get things done, up until 1am most nights, my alarm goes at 5:15am -- not good, seeing the circles under my eyes, thankfully I still have a few weeks, but am going crazy getting things done so I can relax the week of the wedding without having to finish projects! Beginning to catch up with me though..

Agreed!  SO looking forward to the vacation afterwards!

I'm an insomniac, but not because of the wedding.

Cassandra999

I sleep ok but when I wake up too early in the morning I don't go back to sleep because there are so many things going thru my mind. I also clench my jaw in my sleep so it's sore everyday!
