Everyone says to sleep when baby sleeps but naturally adults don't sleep as much as newborns, add the worries, and your mind is constantly thinking which keeps you awake. 4 hours of sleep isn't bad for having a newborn. Drink some camomile tea or some warm milk, relax and watch some tv. The more you worry, the less you'll sleep. Also try meditation and playing some soft lullabies foe the baby.
I never really fell asleep in the beginning. You're up so much with baby and everything is so new. You really can't shut it off. I would just lay in bed and shut my eyes.
My mom would come over and yell at me to go to sleep and she would take care of the baby. I got more sleep then because then you're not as worried
I think it's a combo of hormones and mommy instincts listening for any little sound from baby. you'll get into a routine, right now just close your eyes and listen to relaxing music or meditation tracks. If you can't fall asleep at least rest your body.
