Hi I'm 9 weeks and I've had the same issues, I've been really tired during day and then at night I've been waking up and as you said restless and twitchy and not able to go back to sleep. Normally I sleep on my back which I've had to change, which has been difficult, but the two things that have helped me are I brought a continental pillow ( the square ones 65 by 65) after trying one at my in laws and its great to sit over my other pillow and keep you comfortable and supported. The other is laser lite ear plugs, they are so soft they are not uncomfortable, but what they do is create that peaceful silence so when you wake up you're not distracted by any sounds. I'm not sure how old your other children are so these might not be that great for you, but you can still still hear high pitched or very loud noises through them (they are quite good at blocking out snoring.though!).

The combination of these two things hasn't eliminated my waking in the night, but I have gone back to sleep quicker after altering my position and I get a better quality sleep since doing these things.

Hope this helps, good luck restlessness is jut the worst
