Keep Waking Up - struggle to go back to sleep Posted: 11-08-07 14:26pm
i hav been feeling really light headed,
tired and dizzy for the past few weeks
during the day and by the time i go to bed
i'm exhausted. the main problem is that i
keep waking up in the early hrs of the
morning and then struggling to fall back
to sleep. this is making me more tired for
the rest of the day and makes me feel more
dizzy and exhausted
does anyone know any solutions or what
might be causing this? any suggestions
would be greatful

Do you find little difficult to fall
asleep in the evening?
Do you often sleep less than 8 hours per
night?
Do you have inconsistent sleep with one or
more awake periods during the night?
Do you feel that your alertness and
ability to function are diminished?
Is the lack of energy more intensive in
the afternoon or evening time?

Maybe the activities you are doing before
you fall asleep are causing the trouble.
Try NOT to work or be in the computer 2-3
hours before falling asleep. Reading
helps me get sleepy...so maybe pick up a
good book?

Can you think of something that have
preceded this sleep problem?
Were you ill weeks ago and spending most
of the time in your bad?
Do you usually practice stay up or sleep
in late?
Do you eat and drink caffeinated beverages
or smoke before going to bed?

i've just been brushing off a cold and
stress for ages and i try to catch up on
my sleep by lying in at weekends. to keep
going sometimes i'll grab a red bull or
coffee, i've just had so much on recently.

The sleeping problems you are
experiencing( late night insomnia, early
morning insomnia) are resulting from
disturbed Circadian Rhythm.
Circadian Rhythms are our body’s natural
cycles that control appetite, energy,
mood, sleep and libido. Because the
circadian rhythm controls the sleep/wake
cycle, circadian rhythm disorder often
results in insomnia.
Almost all of us, at some time during a
year fall out of balance and suffer from
sleep, mood or anxiety disorders.
Poor sleep hygiene, excessive intake of
red bull and coffee can be cause of
Circadian Rhythm Disorder.
Circadian Rhythms control the timing,
quantity and quality of the hormones and
neurotransmitters the body produces and
eventually secretes. Hormones and
neurotransmitters are the elements that
determine how we feel, our sleep patterns,
our appetite, our sex drive and other
sleep and mood-related issues.
I think your sleep problem matches with
Advanced Circadian Rhythm Disorder.
Try to get more info about it and find
solutions for making yours circadian
rhythm work properly.
