11 Days Left and I Can't Sleep!!! OMG

So I have 11 days left and even though we've hand some minor hiccups things are still on track. I've spoke with all of my vendors , made final payments and even managed to work out my rehearsal dinner issue. I still have some minor things to do and I still have to print and do my programs which I plan on doing all of that this week but for some reason a sista can't sleep and entire night. lol

I try not to worry about too much because at this point whatever ain't done won't get done but I think subconsciously I'm anxious and that's why I can't sleep.

I swear I'm up like 3 or 4 times a night and sometimes I'm so sleepy I get in the bed early only to lay there and be wide awake for an hour or more lol/

Do or did any of you ladies have this issue and how did you cope? I'm seriously at work wanting to just lay my head down lol

    Oh wow the sleepless nights have not hit me yet. I do have ideas that will pop in my head while I am sleep and then I wake up write them down on the notepad I keep by the bed and then go right back to sleep. Get you some sleepy time tea or some Tylenol PM to help you out a bit. I really hope you get some rest Love we want you to be wide awake and lively at the wedding on 8.27!

    How was your Bachelorette Party this weekend?

    I'm 9 months out and I had about 3 nights back to back where I was either tossing and turning b/c of nightmares about the wedding day (everything going wrong, decor not set up, FI mistakenly seeing me before the wedding, etc.) or I just can't sleep.  Last night, I got fed up and I took a Tylenol PM.  I think I've decided to finish my DIY project I am currently working on and take a break from the wedding stuff for about 3 weeks.  Maybe if I focus on something else, I'll be okay.  I realize you ladies are 11 days out (HOW EXCITING FOR YOU) and can't take a break from the wedding.  But I reccommend some quality "ME TIME" very soon.  Make time for a relaxing massage or spa day to clear your mind.  Try to take baths/showers with lavender fragranced oils/body washes.  And the chammomile tea is a nice touch too.  I wish you girls the best!

    Tylenol PM has been my friend. I have 11 days to go as well and now packages are lost by the post office, some got sent to the wrong address and I just can't function properly. But it'll all work out in the end!!!

    I have already ha many restkess nights, I'm thinking they will just get worse the closer I get.  Tylenol PM will be my best friend lol.  But do try to drink some hot chamomile or sleepy time tea, maybe a half hour before you want to go to bed and if that doesn't work pop some Tylenol PM =)
