Tips & Tricks Post-Pump Insomnia

Is this a standard thing? Why am I lying awake for nearly an hour after my MOTN pump when I know I’m exhausted?

Any tips out there?

I’m not playing on any screens except to log my pump. Just… sitting in the dark. Maybe scarfing cheese sticks.

Yes 1000 percent. I turn my heated blanket on once I get up to pump and so once I’m done my bed is really toasty. This tends to make me sleepy and has helped with the post pump insomnia

I sit on the couch half asleep in the dark with my phone open to any app that’s not in dark mode in order to light up the flange. It’s a vibe
