I have an unusual sleeping habit.?

Question

I have always have this problem for a while now. See it's like this if I go to bed around 9 or 10 pm. I end up waking up around 1 or 2 in the morning. I don't fall back to sleep unit 4 or 5 am. Then when I wake up around 7am I'm too tired. When I awake after getting up. I'm up all day and fall asleep around 7 or 8 pm.

When I stay up to midnight or 1 am I sleep through the night. I find that unusual I went to the doctor. They tell me to use Benatril that helps you sleep. That that doesn't work what should I do see a sleep theripist?

I'm a single with three kids could it my kids giving me lack of sleep? Or is it just me?

Answer 1

As for me, your problem is not unusual, you are not alone! I have also a similar problem, but I have no little kids, so I don’t think it is related to your kids! But I think it may rather relate to your single status and maybe hormones level!
I’d agree with ‘Jeancommunic’ that a better sleeping habit can be formed and you can do it without any doctor’s help.
It’s like a pattern or a track, laid once is followed next night again!
Try to have every day exercising to increase your better blood circulation: jogging, riding, climbing (going up the steps, for example instead of using a lift), etc. Also taking a lot of water during the day and one glass an hour before bed is helpful.
When it happens that you woke up at night, try to imagine yourself sleeping and you’ll be sleeping back soon.
Sleep well and sweet!

Answer 2

Are you still tired if you stay up and then sleep through the night? This may sound strange, but there is such a thing as sleeping too much. While most people go by the 8 hours of sleep per night rule, some only need 5 or 6 hours, while others need 9 or 10.

Example from my home:

If I go to bed with my husband at 10, I usually wake up around 3 or 3:30. I'm wide awake, and I usually try to lay there and continue to rest. Each time I do this, I drag the rest of the day.

If I go to bed on my own schedule, which is between 12 and 1, when the alarm goes off at 5:30, I'm ready to go and I keep going all day and feel energized the whole way through.

Long story short...maybe you have a short sleep cycle. A safe option if you're having trouble getting to sleep and being rested is Tylenol Simply Sleep. Non-habit forming. I took it for about 2 weeks when I was going through one of my insomnia phases. Works pretty well and you're not really groggy in the morning.

Answer 3

Make yourself stay up at 7 or 8 pm until 10 pm. This may make 2 in the morning change to 6 in the morning. Sleep is a habit formed. I worked 7:30 to 4:00 for twenty years straight. I slept 10 pm to 5:30 a.m. for years. My sister worked nights from 3:00 p.m. to 11:00 p.m. She slept 1:00 a.m. to 9:00 a.m.

Both of us changed to starting work at 8:00 a.m., but we still wanted to get up at 5:30 a.m. and 9:00 a.m. because we had sleep habits.

It takes quite awhile, but the body can be made to change habits. Train the body for what you want. Our bodies need to be disciplined more than what we do.

Answer 4

A strange sleep cycle could be due to stress. Maybe your mind is just running. Being single with three kids is hard. Besides Benadryl, you could try using Melatonin. It's a natural supplement that can be bought at health stores or places like GNC. You can also try working out on a daily basis, avoiding heavy meals before bed and keeping a consistent schedule.
