Why do I wake up several times during the night?
Many people don’t wake up once but several times. Sometimes briefly, sometimes fully.
What is happening?
Sleep works in cycles. Between cycles, your body comes closer to waking. Normally you don’t notice. But small disturbances turn these into awakenings.
Common causes
-
Pressure points
-
Poor body support
-
Temperature fluctuations
-
Breathing issues
-
Nervous system sensitivity
Why it matters?
Even if you don’t remember waking up, your sleep becomes fragmented and your sleep well become less restful.
