Sleeping woes: Help needed
Hi all
I would like some advice, especially from folks who have made improvements in their sleep cycle.
As I have got older (I am now 45) I am sleeping less and less well.
I have no problem going to sleep. I have a problem going back to sleep after I wake up for a pee about 4 am (or > 4 hours.) Then I just lay awake for a few hours and can’t drop back off. My alarm goes off at 6am and I wake up super tired and groggy.
I have absolutely no problem sleeping again at 10 am. And have no problem falling sleep again anytime in the daytime. It seems almost like I am wide awake in the middle of the night and sleepy during the day.
Has anyone got any good ideas for sorting this out?
A bit of background: I have a stressful job and that involves being on call. I need to keep my phone in my room. I know that’s not ideal but it can’t be avoided. I really enjoy two coffees in the morning and would hate to quit but still if needed.
Any advice much appreciated.
Cheers
