Is anyone else...

having trouble sleeping??? I had one decent night's sleep all week. I don't know if it's anxiety or what, but I can't seem to fall asleep or stay asleep. I think I might need to buy Advil PM or something!

YES! I am usually a great sleeper (i.e. fall asleep within 5 mins of getting in bed) but this week has been awful. I've been staying up past midnight and then taking forever to fall asleep. Weds I didn't fall asleep until after 3 AM (typical for me is 10:30 haha).

I also had a horrible dream last night that I got laid off from my job. I think I have guilt that I'm not giving it a 100% right now b/c of wedding brain etc. That dream did not help with my stress...

I've never taken Advil PM before. Does it work? I've tried Melotin before when I had to take a red eye flight and wanted to sleep, but it didn't seem to do anything for me.

Ugh I'm sorry about your dream!! That would stress me out completely, too. I have also totally been slacking at work... it's so hard to concentrate especially when I'm not getting enough sleep. I haven't tried Advil PM, but I thought it would be better than taking Nyquil lol. I will have to report back and let you know! 

BmoreBride311

Yes, that would great if you report back! I hope it works for you! When is your last day of work before the wedding? Maybe the sleep will be better over the weekend and after you have at least the work part of your stress out of the way. That's what I'm hoping for myself at least!

BmoreBride311

Oh and oops, I meant Melotonin above. Lack of sleep shining through...

BeachLover2885

Thanks BMore! I will definitely report back!!! Tuesday is my last day since Wed. is 4th of July and I'm off Thurs and Friday so it's not much longer at all! I'm actually off today too and am having my final dress fitting.  When is your last day??

BmoreBride311

My last day is next Friday and then I fly to the U.S. Saturday morning (wedding is the following Saturday). The first thing I have to do when I get in is try on my dress and make sure it still fits lol. I think that whole week prior will be a blur.

Good luck at the fitting! Report back on that, too, please

BeachLover2885

You're almost there, too!! Too bad they don't have 4th of July over in England.. that would have been a nice break! I agree about the blur part....  I think the end of next week is going to be a whirlwind! My mom seems to think the wedding is taking forever to get here but I think time is flying! haha

I will report back on the fitting and hopefully have some pics to PIP! 

BmoreBride311

Yes it totally sucks missing the 4th! It's such a fun holiday... but oh well, I'll be celebrating soon. It works well for you getting it the week before your wedding - I bet your office will be pretty quiet Mon/Tues anyway... and then you'll be off!

Last day of work today.  I haven't slept well all week.  Yikers!  I know it shows in my eyes.

I haven't started having problems sleeping, yet.  I bet the week of the wedding especially after my last venue meeting I won't be able to sleep.

Slept like poo last night.  For some reason kept thinking we were having two ceremonies/receptions and that I had nothing ready for the second one.  Kept waking up and going right back into it.  That and it's so flipping hot here even with the AC on!

I picked up a sleep aide yesterday at Target, just the generic Target brand, because I'd been having trouble falling asleep earlier in the month already and don't want that to happen around the wedding.  I'll have to let you guys know how it works because I think I'm going to start taking it because my head hurts from lack of sleep this morning and I can't deal with that.

rachael7183

YES, and on top of that am breaking out on my forehead which hasnt happened to me say since umm, HS??

littlemoments324

Yep!!!  I sleep really well from midnight to 6:30am...then I toss and turn for the next 2-3 hours...I'm exhausted and I think I'm getting sick...Boo

Yup. I havent slpet in a while. Part of it is nerves and part of it is the heat. When I really can't sleep I usually take bennadryl. It works pretty well. I tried Tylonal PM once but it didnt work at all.

Yes! I had the worst wedding dream last night. It was that my photographer missed all of our wedding shots and didn't get any pictures of Fi and I after the ceremony and I was crying and so upset. She msised the sunset picture, the bridge picture, everything because it got dark.
