It's incredibly frustrating when you're 4 months postpartum and your sleep is still all over the place – exhausted by day, wide awake at night. This struggle is very common, often because nighttime feels like your only "me time" after a day of constant demands. This need for personal time can accidentally keep you wired, preventing the deep rest your body desperately needs. It's a tough cycle of postpartum insomnia driven by hormones, fragmented sleep, and an "on-call" brain, but acknowledging this "reclaiming time" aspect is key to finding ways to get the sleep you crave.
