Waking up in the night

[Avasmummy_x]

Anyone else have sleep disturbances!

I wake up like clockwork every night at 4-5am and take about half an hour an hour to get back to sleep if I can, I'm wide awake!

Is this insomnia? I have no problem actually getting to sleep at bedtime and I am absolutely shattered in the day because of it. I just keep waking up at the exact same time wide awake.

As regular as clockwork, I usually fall asleep around 12 midnight, then wake-up between 2-3am, turn TV on and manage to fall asleep again, wake up about 4am, turn TV on and fall asleep again and then wake up around 6-7am. I use to worry about my sleep pattern but now just accept the situation. About once a week I have a night when I cannot sleep at all so, don't try, just read or sew or watch TV.

one bit of advice i can give you is dont take sleep meds ,they only stop working after a while and you get serioulsy addicted to them.Ive been there and done that.I take zma http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ZMA_(supplement) which helps quite a bit
sweet dreams :cloud9:

I wouldn't want to take them anyway! I have a big fear of meds and side effects I've always thought if I take a sleeping tablet I won't wake up again lol x

We haven't always slept without interruptions - there is a very interesting article from the BBC here:
