Do you ever get up during the night?

I get up during the night when I need to drink water or pee. I can easily get back to sleep after that. But if I was awaken by a loud sound, I can’t easily back to sleep because my mind wander and my nerves and blood already awaken too. it is not easy to be back to sleep when my heart is pumping fast. It is seldom happen that I get up at night and I can’t back to sleep and continue it. When it happen I just go to the bathroom, lie in bed and wander and afterwards I can easily get back to sleep.

Hi Jugs...this is something that happens to me quite frequently. I have a medical condition that keeps me awake most nights and makes me sleep during the day. It is veery hard to concentrate on anything when I wake up during the night because I am so upset that I have waken again during the night. Most times though, I spend my time on the computer as it allows me a variety of things to do and pretty much allows me to at least relax. I usually still have the TV on for noise because I cannot stand it when it is completely silent, and I will glance at it every so often. flutterby

I have an 19 year old son who lives at home with us. He is pretty responsible, works and goes to college. Every once and a while he is out late and somehow my body knows exactly what nights that is. I cannot sleep good till everyone is home. I keep waking up and looking at the clock. Its different when everyone is home, I sleep soundly all night.

Yes, off and on I have a nightmares and I must get up to quit from them. After that, I'll look for something to drink, and then I'll go to bed again.

I stay up late as it is and quite often I don't go to bed until late morning. i may get up once or twice in the night but not usually. I was there for a while. I guess it just depends on how much water I drink before bedtime and if I am having trouble with insomnia.

This often happens to me because I need to go to the toilet and end up not being able to go back to sleep. I try to fall asleep and when this does not work, I end up on the computer or find a really boring book to read. The latter is more difficult because I tend to wake up my husband as well when I turn on the lights.

I have some moments like that, but i`m awake just to go to the bathroom or just to drink some water, then i`m going to sleep again fast. Sometimes i can`t sleep , and until i`ll be tired , i stay on the computer, or just watch tv . But i found a new way to sleep fast. i`m getting up early in the morning, and in the evening, i`m sleepy immediatly . I had some weeks when i was asleep at 3am and that wasn`t too good .

When this happens and it happens alot I tend to put the TV on, read a book or pray to God that I can go back to sleep. I hate when it happens though. This has been happening since I turned 50 years old. I use to sleep thru the night.

Actually, this never happens to me. Once I fall asleep I can sleep till the morning. I may barely wake up a few times, but I always fall back asleep. I do no alot of people that have problems going back to bed though.
