100. Beyond Sleep Deprivation: What to Do for Postpartum Insomnia
Postpartum on Purpose
Hi Lady! Can't sleep (at night) even when the baby is? If you're unable to sleep or to stay asleep aside from baby's diaper changes and feedings, here's what I want you to do: 1) make an appointment with your healthcare practitioner. Now. Please. Get help with your sleep ASAP, so that you're not fighting both sleep deprivation and insomnia. Sleep deprivation on its own is tough enough. 2) Listen to this episode on 3 research-based insomnia treatments (none require medicine!) so you can make a real action plan with your practitioner to start sleeping (and therefore feeling) better. Be sure to check out the full show notes at postpartumonpurpose.com/my-blog. Get in touch annemarie@postpartumonpurpose.com. As always, nothing in these episodes should be construed as medical advice. That's why I'm telling you to get in touch with your local practitioner. :)
