I will have weeks where I don't wake up at all, and then a couple where I am waking up a few times per week and awake for 2+ hours. I hate that! I think for me it is mostly stress related. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-wake-up-n-the-middle-of-the-night#post-1009422 Mon, 12 Aug 2013 07:53:05 +0000 MrsTiz 1009422@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Every night. I sleep like crap without sleeping pills, and I haven't been taking them while pregnant so I wake up at least 4 times a night thirsty, and 1x a night to go to the bathroom </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-wake-up-n-the-middle-of-the-night#post-1009417 Mon, 12 Aug 2013 07:50:39 +0000 woodentulip 1009417@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have also gone through periods of this. And as others have said, it is often when I am stressed about something else. An old colleague of mine said that if you woke up around 4, it was known as the "stress hour" which has always rung true for me! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-wake-up-n-the-middle-of-the-night#post-1009394 Mon, 12 Aug 2013 07:37:39 +0000 lilteacherbee 1009394@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrbee: sometimes, but usually that makes it harder to sleep at night. Unisom works for me, but I don't wanna take it every night. I've had insomnia before, but pregnancy seems to make it way worse. DH falls asleep within a minute of hitting the pillow and I'm always super jealous. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-wake-up-n-the-middle-of-the-night#post-1009369 Mon, 12 Aug 2013 07:24:41 +0000 sorrycharlie 1009369@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I used to! Now I'm up so often with DD that when my head hits the pillow I am OUT. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-wake-up-n-the-middle-of-the-night#post-1009364 Mon, 12 Aug 2013 07:23:06 +0000 mrs. bird 1009364@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yup! I get up around 2 to go to the bathroom, sometimes I go back to sleep, sometimes I don't. When I'm stressed I wake up more often. This summer I've been waking up with a need to move, so I've been ended up on the futon or couch part way through the night, if I stay in bed I get anxious, no idea why </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-wake-up-n-the-middle-of-the-night#post-1009332 Mon, 12 Aug 2013 07:11:04 +0000 Rubies 1009332@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I do! But it's usually when I'm anxious about something coming up. Last night I woke up for no reason at around 3am and couldn't fall back asleep but I know that it was because I was anxious about DD going back to daycare after being out for over a week (due to illness) - she got really spoiled being at home with both of us (DH had the week off!). And just as I expected, daycare drop-off was full of tears today. Luckily, as soon as she saw one of her buddies, she was okay again. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-wake-up-n-the-middle-of-the-night#post-1009314 Mon, 12 Aug 2013 07:02:11 +0000 mrbee 1009314@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@lilteacherbee: brutal!! do you nap at all? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-wake-up-n-the-middle-of-the-night#post-1009311 Mon, 12 Aug 2013 06:59:15 +0000 lilteacherbee 1009311@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yep, though these days I don't sleep in any sort of pattern...I just don't sleep. Last night, I slept from 4am-6am and that's it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-wake-up-n-the-middle-of-the-night#post-1009306 Mon, 12 Aug 2013 06:57:17 +0000 pui 1009306@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Sometimes I get in to these phases where I start waking up at the exact same time early in the morning everyday for no reason at all. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-wake-up-n-the-middle-of-the-night#post-1009305 Mon, 12 Aug 2013 06:56:14 +0000 Mrs. Pickle 1009305@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes! It usually happens between 4-5. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-wake-up-n-the-middle-of-the-night#post-1009301 Mon, 12 Aug 2013 06:52:32 +0000 mrbee 1009301@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>...for no reason?</p> <p>I've been waking up around 2 am lately and then not being able to fall asleep for a few hours. I read that this was common years ago, but it still feels weird to me.</p> <p>Do you ever wake up in the middle of the night... for no reason? </p>
