Anyone else not sleeping?? Help!!

So holy crap I get married TOMORROW. I'm ridiculously excited but I'm also painfully exhausted! I have barely slept this entire week. I even bought zzzquil and have used that a few nights. I think it has helped me fall asleep but I still wake up multiple times in the night. I've been having weird dreams and tossing and turning. So - any tips?! I'm staying at a hotel tonight with my maid of honor and one bridesmaid. I desperately need some good rest before the big day. Open to any and all advice! Thank you!!

and take the smallest dose. Melatonin does wonders for me but some people experience weird dreams. Mine are never nightmares but they are vivid in the beginning.

Yes strange dreams can happen! Never scary for me, but very realistic!

Melatonin helps tremendously. It may give me vivid dreams, but I don't mind them compared to the nightmares I get when I take cold medicine or benadryl. Make sure you take it with a full 8 hours before you have to wake up or you may be drowsy in the morning.

I can sleep but I've been waking up early -like 6 am and bouncing out of bed

Tip: go to youtube search for "mindfulness meditation".. Then do one or two of these when you go to bed

I will be meditating, redditing, and taking two melatonin the night before the wedding just in case one isn't enough! I was also offered xanax, but somehow that didn't seem like a great idea...either way, I fully intend to knock out no later than 10:30.
