Thread: keep waking up at 3 in the morning!

i was hoping for help, recently for a long time, EVERYDAY i wake up at, or about ten minutes earlier than 3. then after that, i find it IMPOSSIBLE to sleep again. if i do manage to fall asleep, the same thing happens at 4. but ONLY those times. im very confused, help please?

Maybe it is that your body is used to getting up at that time or something is wrong I would get professional help because it could interfere with daily life.

yeah, its scary though, i could be dying of tiredness, and i wake up at 3 and kant sleep anymore. its also been interfering with my lds

Dieing of tiredness. OMG I AM TIRED *dies*

lol but seriously call up your doctor and ask him. Maybe he will make you take sleeping pills.

Yay! Sleeping pills!

This doesn't seem that unnatural to me, because I repeat to my self over and over before I fall asleep, "I will AWAKE from my dreams and remember them completely." If you have trouble falling back asleep drink some red wine and eat a turkey sandwich.

That may not be practical at 3:00 AM.

Early morning awakening is associated with depression. If you have any other symptoms, you should consider that. If not, then don't worry about it, and it will most likely pass. Consider it as an opportunity to recall your dreams, or practice WILD.

Try taking melatonin when you goto bed. That generally makes you initial sleep deeper, then maybe you will rem rebound and begin dreaming about the time you would wake.

Its the hormone that your body releases when you goto sleep. You can take it when you goto bed to induce deeper sleep, or to just knock you out when you wake up at 4am.
