Warning Signs Of Insomnia

Waking Up At Night

It's normal to wake up a few times throughout the night, but most individuals don't have any recollection of this and can rise the next morning feeling refreshed. If you manage to fall asleep but find yourself waking up and unable to fall back asleep, insomnia could be the cause.

The human body goes through five stages of sleep every night, each of which has a unique function, such as muscle restoration and memory consolidation. When we wake up too frequently, these natural processes are disrupted, and thus, we are unable to hit the deep, most restorative stages of sleep we need to feel rested the next day.

To decrease the likelihood of waking up at night, make sure you sleep in a dark, quiet room. Some individuals find it helpful to listen to white noise such as a fan or rain sounds. Ensure the bedroom is neither too hot nor too cold; the best sleeping temperature is between sixty to sixty-seven degrees Fahrenheit.
