Erase Your Sleep-less Concerns

I’m in my mid-late 20s and otherwise healthy (have tested negative for infections, diabetes, kidney problems, prostate problems, etc.) I’ve had the problem basically my whole life… I did it pretty much every night until I was 12, and it’s gone up and down since then; now it’s maybe 5 or 6 times a year on average, although it can be worse if I’m under a lot of stress.

Is it possible that my bladder just never completely “outgrew” the problem like the docs always said it would? (When I was a kid I was always told it was too small for my age…) Or is the problem that I sleep too soundly so that I don’t wake up when I need to go? Actually I do wake up to go to the bathroom most nights, and it’s only on the rare nights when I’m really tired or stressed that I sleep through it and wake up wet.

Yes, I do watch my liquid intake at night and follow all other such common recommemdations… just looking for ideas on what the problem is… anyone have experience or insights on this?

I have had issues with insomnia since I was 9. Since I had my daughter it’s gotten worse. That was almost 4 months ago. If I’m stressed out I can’t sleep. It’s not that I can’t I guess, it’s like my mind and body doesn’t WANT to, if that makes sense, and so I can’t sleep at all. For the past couple of months I haven’t been able to shut my mind down enough to get to sleep before 3am, and the past 4 days I haven’t been able to sleep at all until after 5am. It leaves me utterly exausted during the day, because I still have to get up at 8 or 9 oclock with my children.
I can’t continue like this. I’m also breast feeding my daughter, so is there anything I can take?? I just don’t know what to do.
I don’t consume caffeine at all.
