""Every person on earth wakes up between 1 and 3 o'clock in the morning. This is because our body temperature naturally starts falling around 10 p.m. That sets off melatonin production and signals our bodies that we should start heading for sleep.""
""Some of us have a lot more trouble falling back asleep, a problem that may be worsened if we have a lot on our minds. We wind up, mentally spinning our wheels, and sleep becomes that much harder.""
Middle-of-the-night insomnia is a common issue, affecting one in five people. It often occurs due to natural biological processes, where body temperature fluctuations lead to waking between 1 and 3 a.m. Many individuals struggle to fall back asleep, especially when preoccupied with worries. Psychologist Michael Breus explains that while most people return to sleep after waking, some find it challenging. To combat this insomnia, it is essential to resist common temptations that may hinder the ability to fall back asleep.
