7/30/2023 0 Comments Wake me up at 5 please![]() I also have a hoop at my house which I shoot on regularly. I don't go to the gym on the regular to lift weights but here and there I do. The thing I think for you.is once you push past waking up at 4:45.you will develop a new time cycle. The OTC medicine I used has been around since 1949 and it is called doxylamine.Īlot of my friends use Benadryl an allergy med. So the next day I tried to stay in bed and it worked and I ended up getting up around 8am. The first day I started with the OTC sleep med.I got up a 6 when I woke up and felt like crap all day. when I get in bed I take the 1/2 of otc sleep aide. I introduced a half of an over the counter sleeping pill to my regimen.I take melatonin.1/2 of a benzo and an allergy pill prior to sleeping. SO.I started making myself stay in bed.and now I still wake up at 6.but I know I can fall asleep again till about 8am. My current cycle is go to bed at 1.up at 2:30.up at 4:30 and then 6 and when I wake up at 6.that is the hardest time to get back to sleep. My body does the same thing.once I start waking up at a certain time it becomes a cycle. Our brain ticks like a clock! I'm hopeless at guessing the time when I'm awake, presumably because my brain is occupied with other things, but I'm always spot on just in the moment of awaking from sleep. Scientists discovered a tiny group of cells somewhere in the hypothalamus that actually switch on and off at the rate of about once per second. It seems we literally do have a biological clock. Then I saw a science programme on BBC TV about 20 years ago that explained this. I have to press a button on my bedside clock to light up the face and I switch off my phone at night. And it's not because I can see the time anywhere. One interesting phenomenon I've been aware of for years, and which spooked me a bit at first, is that I usually know exactly what time it is when I wake, to within a couple of minutes. I look around the room, have a drink of water, go to the bathroom if necessary (which it sadly often is at my advanced age!) then immediately crash out again. Fortunately, as I've got older, I've been able to accept it as just normal for me. It used to be a huge problem when I was young, and suffering from sleep anxiety, because I naturally started worrying about whether I'd go back to sleep. I've always woken fully several times a night. It's just that not everyone makes it all the way up to the surface. Thank you.Īctually Misssy, sleep lab studies tend to prove that they do. If anyone has any suggestions about what I can do to get out of this habit I would greatly appreciate it. ![]() I just want to be able to get a full nights sleep in because I rarely have had that in the past 12 years. I have no motivation to get anything done. I don't have nearly as much energy as usual. This is really starting to catch up to me. When I get up for good I usually head to the bathroom and look at the alarm clock in the spare bedroom when I walk past it. When I wake up I usually reach for my phone or ipod (both turned off) and turn one on to check the time (I know that's probably a stupid idea but how else will I know what time it is?). I also covered my windows so my room is almost pitch black because the sun peeking through used to wake me up. Some things that I've done is got rid of my alarm clock so I wouldn't keep checking it every 2 minutes. ![]() I rarely go back to sleep and sometimes I don't even know if I actually fall back asleep because it's so hard to. I feel so tired and I try to go back to sleep but I usually just lay there until 6:30-7. It has definitely got better over the years but for the past 2 weeks I've been waking up at 4:45-5 every morning. My biggest trouble was actually falling asleep, but now that's the easiest part. I've been on countless medications and a C-Pap machine and nothing had been truly effective. I've had sleeping issues since I was 14 years old (26 now).
