Might need to vary the workout, if I get too used to the workout it can have the same effect.
I normally have a couple of cocktails and I read before bed, works about 85 percent of the time. But I will still have a couple of nights that I just can't sleep.
It used to go in cycles of crap sleep for a week or two then back to normal for a couple of months. Going on about two months straight of waking at 3-3:30am every single day...
Maybe drinking more would help...🤔
pg,
just came across this. The title caught my eye.
Waking up in the middle of the night? Here’s why it could be normal | CNN
My husband struggles just like this. I don’t, but I’m chasing two kids around all day and work out most days. The nights I sleep the best are the days I’ve done yoga. As we age it’s a really good workout option for flexibility!
That is actually very helpful. Thanks. Might have to try getting out of bed and reading for a bit instead of laying awake for 2+ hours stressing about not sleeping.
My wife sleeps like a rock. It's crazy. Out cold within 2 minutes of lights out and doesn't budge till like 7am.
I hear you had a Secret (GS/Navy 16 years) until I retired in Dec. 22. Had to wait it out. Try Ambein CR, if you cannot tolerate that try the Lunesta. Had the same problem bedtime 2130 wide awake at 0230/0300.....
I’m 3 years into cpap, down 40 pounds (13% BF so not Olympic but leaner), TRT, 16/8 IF, Hypertension controlled with diet and meds, gym 5 days/week, yada yada. 46. If I drink I wake up middle night. If I don’t I don’t.
part of aging and work stress but alcohol is the biggest factor in me waking up at night. I have done everything but exercise and clean living seem to be the best. Losing weight helped me snore less and feel like I am not as tired when I do wake up.
Was going to ask if you had a sleep study. Sounds like you have.
CPAP machine made all the difference for me. I rarely if ever wake up unless its storming and the dog jumps in bed.
You’re just old. You need less sleep as you age
Yeah, had a sleep study back in the Marines. The CPAP helps a lot, but I'm wondering if maybe I need to have another study done just to see if my machine might need an adjustment. The settings haven't changed in like 13 years.
That's what I'm afraid of...but at 54 I'm not THAT old.
I'll be 54 this Sunday (St. Patrick's Day).
I work late most nights (midnight at least) and up at 6 to take our youngest daughter to school.
Reading the Gospel of St. John (particularly chapters 14-17) relaxes me like nothing else.
If you don't want to read it, there's a good version of either Alexander Scourby or James Earl Jones reading it on YouTube.
Either way, I hope you get relief! Lack of sleep is awful!
My wife got a CPAP machine and it made a huge difference...her body was starved for oxygen.
