I did that with my last . I think its just getting you ready for being up all night wirh a baby lol. I remeber being in the hospital after having my last baby wanting sleep so badly , but i was breastfeeding and the baby was in the room with us. And i really really missed those nights i lost sleep to insomnia.

Ya seems like between 3am to 5am I'm wide awake. Doing pointless stuff when I could be sleeping

The nesting bug is exhausting but wow, does the house benefit from it!  My husband really loved the nesting bug but me? Not so much as I was tired.  I actually got the 'nesting bug' or that adrenaline rush after I had my baby. I couldn't sleep, I was a busy bee almost in a crazy manner.  I remember going to the grocery after being home four days from the hospital at 2 am.  Wide away "oh, I think I'll go get the shopping down now."  Yeesh.  You'll come out of it soon and then crash a bit.  good luck
