Lately I've been waking up around 4 am or so and then (sometimes) falling back asleep. Maybe I am having a sleep regression?
I usually find myself waking up between 1 and 4 am. I'll be up for 1-2 hours, then fall back asleep. I've never slept like this before, but apparently it used to be really common?

Do you usually sleep in one stretch, or do you wake up in the middle of the night and then go back to sleep?

One stretch, but I feel like I am in and out of sleep by the tail end of it lately, so I am not feeling well rested when I wake up.

I wake up a couple times and then go right back to sleep, but it's my DH's fault. He's always up and down all night and it wakes me every time. I can go back to sleep a lot easier than he can, though, so it doesn't really bother me.

I have really awful sleep issues. I am an insomniac and have trouble falling asleep and staying asleep. I wake myself up every couple hours, but can usually go back to sleep fairly quickly.

I haven't had a solid night's sleep since before I was pregnant. Sigh.

I've never been one to sleep in stretches. I wake up and use the bathroom, fall asleep, wake up to get a dr. Pepper, fall back asleep, wake up and check Facebook, back asleep, wake back up to go to the bathroom. It's just constant. It's probably the cats though.

Depends on the night. Sometimes I'll randomly wake between 3-4am then fall back asleep.
Last night I slept from 9pm-6:30am. Loooong stretch of sleep.

I wake up a few times a night . . . I usually think I hear something, so I check the monitor. Becoming a mom has really turned me in to such a light sleeper!

I almost always wake up to pee once. Sometimes twice. Cursed small bladder.

I'm a very light sleeper, and wake up multiple times a night. I don't actually get out of bed though, unless I hear one of my boys.

Even before DS, I wake up multiple times during the night, but will fall back asleep pretty easily.

I always, always wake up in the middle of the night. Don't know why.

One long stretch, but I usually wake up at 5 and fall back asleep until 6-6:30.

Even before kids, I would wake up once or twice a night to pee, but I could always get back to sleep. After having DD, I had the worst sleep (always seemed to wake up 10 min before she would... 4x/night). It finally got back to "normal", and now I'm pregnant again, which means I'm getting some crappy sleep now. *sigh* Maybe I'll get some decent sleep in 5 years?
