Not sleeping enough can run your body down. I remember when my daughter was born i hardly got more that 2 hours of sleep. It ran my husband and me down. I had an anxiety attack when she was about 2 weeks old. The doctor gave me some medicine for it-i think its called lunesta-and i began taking it and it helped. But one night, my daughter began to choke and i couldn't wake up because of the meds so thank the lord for my husband for being there. He saved her from choking to death. Now i cant sleep hardly. I go to bed about 3 in the morning and cant get up in the mornings for her feedings. I just thought that was normal for a new parent. But you really should go to the doctor about your problem. If you think there will be an interruption, one like mine, tell him you need something to help you sleep but you also need something that wont make you sleep all the time. You never know when someone might need you. That's why i just try to go to bed early. Read a book or watch tv. Maybe you can fall asleep like that. Hope that helps. And sweet dreams when you do.
