insomnia during pregnancy

I'm in my 1st trimester but I've been having insomnia every day and only get minimal amount of sleep every day compared to before I was pregnant. Anyone faced the same issue and what did you do? Its gonna affect my work performance and I am not planning to tell my boss till 2nd trimester. It's so tough. Past few days been listening to rain sounds to help me sleep but this particular night it is not working for me I've been trying to get in bed for 4 hours now tossing and turning and I have work in a few hours I'm so frustrated.

I had insomnia and vivid dreams all throughout my first and second trimester. Try taking a warm relaxing shower just before bedtime. Hot cup of milo before bed. And listen to soothing sleep music (not white noise though because that can be a bit distracting), throughout the night if need be... I still wake up a few times throughout the night to get into a comfortable position and will take a while to get back to sleep, but I find that the above helps alot to let me fall asleep faster. Hope that helps you too!
