so for example i go to bed at 1am etc then i sleep for like 5-6 hrs then afterwords i wake up and cant go back to sleep i am just lying there tossing an turning

what do you guys do to help yourself go back sleep when this happens ?

Beating in the moment is a temp fix

You need a lifestyle change so that you’re so tired you’ll just fall asleep easy

Sounds like everyday to me. Waking up in the morning after a somewhat full night sleep

Do some crunches

1. Sleep (earlier) and wake up and a consistent time to get your body used to it
2. Don't eat in the 2 hours before you go to sleep, and if you do eat at least don't eat any sugar

This helped me fix my sleep schedule

just get up

i do workout just recently i took some time off because there was a death in the family i am just wondering why this is happening so often now to me

yea i hear a noise or if i move a lot it happens

might have sleep apnea

I normally just browse my phone. If I'm REALLY not getting back to sleep, then I'll get up and read a book. What have you tried so far? and has nothing worked?

yes go to bed an wake up same times i do this since i work 3-11

2 is hard because i am diabetic, and if my sugar drops i gotta eat something with sugar

everytime i meditate before bed i sleep thoroughly for about 8 hours

The second one is the opposite for me, my sugar levels are usually low anyway so if I can't sleep without something sweet beforehand

what is the cause of that?

from what my doctor told me is that my blood sugars have been to high as of late an it could be causing it or i have not tired my body out so much to the point where i need 8 hrs

but also when i wake up after like 5 hrs of sleep or 6 i feel like i only slept 2 hrs

you need to go for a run or do something to get tired before you sleep

i have the same problem as you

just lye there close my eyes an see if i can get back to sleep but i am always tossing and turning an it stressed me out that i cant get back to sleeping

i stretch before going to bed i find it helps

i do workout but with only getting 5 hrs of sleep i dont got the energy to workout but as of late i have been going on a lot more walks but my body does not get that tired i am trying today for the 1st time before bed is magnesium glycinate its suppose to make you fall a sleep an tired before bed

what do you do when this happens to you

i black out my room, cause a lot of times the room is a bit bright since it's morning, with the black out curtains, and then i usually turn on a white noise machine or like that low-fi thing on youtube like a gentle soft back round beat, or sometimes rain sounds on my phone and that helps quite a bit

i got those white curtains that blackout curtain idea sounds good an i do use a white noise app yesterday i put on a quite rainstorm or sometimes i put on a plane noise flying

ah okay only other thing i can suggest is to be mindful of the temperature and if you are overheating, i wake up and toss and turn a lot because i feel hot and/or the pillow feels hot and i can't fall asleep after

Straining to make yourself sleep often has the opposite effect because you're stressing yourself out. Do something low energy demanding, like reading a book or drawing. Meditating might help you get back to sleep but don't "focus" on trying to sleep during it, just relax your mind.

funny you mention that i close my door when i sleep i think that plays a BIG PART I WILL USE A FAN TO COOLER THE room and i just covered my window now with a big black sheet looks like a trap house now

yea i have been seeing that, my mind races or i get hart pupations like an anxiety feel or etc if i notice i cant get back to sleep
