Is it normal that i wake up 2 times every night

4 Comments

I wake up about every 3 hours when I sleep at night. I want to know if this is healthy or if maybe I should see a doctor and take sleep medicine. I'm worried because you're supposed to go through stages as you sleep and the stages change as you sleep longer. But then again some sleep medicines mess with what sleep stages you go through too.

I don't usually wake up in the middle of the night 11
I wake up once regularly 7
I wake up twice regularly 5
I wake up three times regularly 3

    I took a sleep study and it showed I wake up about 10-20 times an hour. However most the time it was only for a second so I dont remember. I only usually remember waking up about 3-5 times a night. I was diagnosed with sleep apnea which means I am waking up because I stop breathing, now I wear a breathing mask to sleep so I do not die.

    It might be anxiety, it might be nothing. Maybe try some homeopathic sleep aids or relaxors. Don't go straight to hard drugs. See if the homeopathic ones help first.

    You can get melatonin over the counter. Or order the controlled release form online. You need 3-6mg.

    I sometimes wake up once in the middle of my sleep... because I have to pee.

    You will have to do some research but I read someone named Roger found our ancestors slept twice a night waking in the middle of their sleep. This was normal.
