I have had sleep issues for the majority of my life. Apparently I rarely slept as a baby. I used to be able to survive on little sleep, but I've lost that ability.

It takes me a long time to fall asleep, and quite often, I wake up in the night because I have to pee or because one of my dreams wakes me up.

For one or two years of my life, falling and staying asleep was not a problem. This was in the time when I lived with a roommate for the first time, when I was about 23 until I moved to Wainwright at age 25. I remember hoping that all my sleep problems were gone for good. It turns out that they were not. I wake up often and I have a hard time falling asleep simply because my thoughts run away with me and turn like a hamster on a wheel.

What about you?

I am usually a pretty great sleeper but obviously being pregnant is not doing my sleep any favors. I can still fall asleep in about 5 seconds flat though, I just wake up about 5-7 times every night, to pee, because my back hurts, horrible leg cramps, to roll over (a serious painful ordeal), etc. It's tough knowing it's going to get worse before it gets better.
