Insomnia

Hey Ladies, Im currently 15 weeks 6 days. I have been struggling with sleep since about week 8 or 9. My OB prescribed me Ambien to help. The RX had 20 in the bottle.. I finished in less than 30 days. Guessing about 23 days.. She inatructed me to take the meds for sleeplessness nights, but not every night, as the drug could possibly pass to the baby. I am no longer taking ambien and have been taking OTC Unisom. Which is safe during pregnancy. Even when taken at 8-9pm im still wide awake until 2-3 am. What can i do? IM GETTING DESPERATE FOR SLEEP AND A NORMAL SCHEDULE

Try buying pure lavender oil. It puts me to sleep when I dab a little on a cold towel and apply it to my forehead
