Pregnancy insomnia
I need tricks to help me sleep. I'm constantly tired but when I try and go to bed it can take me and hour and a half to actually fall asleep. Everytime I wake up it feels like I'm wide awake. I've tried melentonin but it doesn't seem to help me at all.
I'm a super tired mama with a one year old and need the energy to try and keep up with him.

Magnesium! It was life savour for me.
