Pregnancy insomnia is honestly exhausting and I did not expect it to be this bad

I am currently pregnant and the insomnia lately has been really rough. I feel tired all day but when night comes my body just refuses to sleep. I lay in bed for hours trying to get comfortable and my mind keeps racing.

Some nights I wake up every hour and other nights I just stare at the ceiling forever. The uncomfortable part is that my body is already tired from pregnancy so the lack of sleep makes everything feel heavier during the day.

I tried changing pillows drinking warm tea before bed and putting my phone away earlier but it still takes forever to fall asleep.

I guess I just wanted to ask if anyone else here went through insomnia during pregnancy and if it got better later on. Right now it just feels like my brain forgot how to sleep.
