sleeping issues

Has anyone been having sleeping issues?  I'm only 17 weeks along so my belly isn't really big yet.  The last few weeks have been filled with sleeping problems.  I'm either too hot or too cold, can't get comfortable or I'm just literally wide awake and rolling around.  It's gotten to the point where  I get headaches because of the sleep deprivation.  Sleeping with a pillow between my legs hasn't helped and I can't take benadryl.  Any recommendations?  I really need some sleep!!!

I have the restless legs too and my husband thinks I'm making it all up!  I guess this is practice for when the baby arrives.
