Insomnia, I guess

I went to bed at a decent time, slept well for almost four hours, then got up to use the restroom.
I could not go back to sleep at all so I got out of bed at 3.
When hubby got up at 5 I went right back to sleep and now I am up. Ready to "play and learn". When I was up the first time I found a Swag Bucks Survey that I could do, and did a little bit here.
I will be making a breakfast sometime, I am really hungry now. and have finished my first cup of coffee.
Do you have insomnia, and what do you do about it?

I think for me it has to do with how high my blood sugar is at the time I go to bed.

If I wake up in the night and cannot sleep I have a glass of milk and a biscuit, that mostly works, so I guess it is hunger that wakes me up.

For me taking one ibuprofen works when I can't fall back to sleep.

I have gotten to where Ibuprofen gives me stomach pain. I may have been hungry. I went back to bed after eating a banana.

I am enduring this sleeping problem these days. I can only sleep 4 hours or less than four. Sometimes I am playing my favorite music to treat it.

Sometimes if you play music your subconscious will try to sing the words and keep you awake.

Hubby will go to bed and be snoring, until I get to bed then it stops. It also helps to put a fan blowing gently across our faces then he does not snore.

I usually lay there and most nights I can get back to sleep, but when it has been more than a half hour I get up.

I have meds for it GG.
When you are tired, you get hungrier.
I hope you get some good sleep soon.

It used to never happen. I am sure I will get on top of it soon. I did go back to bed and sleep well.

Scientists claim that 80% of reason to insomnia is lack of physical activity or nerve system being overexcited. So i try to do physical exercises and stay calm at least during 1 hour before sleep or take light sleeping pills in bad cases.

I have had some things on my mind, but I am working on walking every day and leaving my problems behind.

If I go back to bed I do sleep well for a couple of hours.
