I am a 27 year old married man with my
first child due to arrive in may. Off
and on for the past few years I have had a
hard time getting to sleep. Once I do, I
have no problem maintaining sleep.
Recently, especially over the last week, I
go to bed at a time I normally do.
However, I start getting hot, dry mouth,
rapid heartbeat and inevitably I have to
urinate every 20 minutes...It leads to
frustration and by the time that sets in,
hours have passed and I yawn from being
tired, but I can't get to sleep.
Usually, between 12-3 I am able to drift
off. But I lay down between 9-10. I
think this could be anxiety with my first
child on her way in two months! But I
was hoping someone out there could confirm
that I am not alone in this. The
nighttime is such a lonely, cold place and
it would be nice to know that others are
out there, stuck watching sportscenter at
2am as well...
