Why am I so tired? Waking up in the night
2. Do you wake up a lot in the night?
A lot of us wake up in the night so briefly that we can't remember doing it, making us think we've slept right through. But if you do this more than five times a night it can be equivalent of losing an hour's sleep!
Ask yourself, is my room too light? Does my partner snore? Am I worried about things? These can all make you wake up.
- If your room is too light get new curtains, a blackout blind or even an eye-mask.
- If your room is to cold or hot adjust your heating or put on extra layers.
- If your partner snores read of our top ways to get him to stop, or buy ear-plugs.
- If you're worried about things, write them all down before you go to bed and deal with them in the morning.
- If you get up to go to the toilet a lot reduce how much you drink two hours before you go to bed.
