There are many reasons for tossing and turning. These include sleep apnea, chronic pain, periodic limb movement and acid reflux to name a few. Others include the bedroom environment being too warm or having too much light. In addition, excessive alcohol, caffeine and heavy meals before bed can lead to restless sleep.

I often find that with stress I toss and turn a lot in my sleep. I have spent many long nights waking up from moving around so much whenever I have big exams coming up or some personal life issue going on. I also find that going to bed upset leads to me tossing and turning. My bed may be my safe area, but if I fall asleep in it feeling very distressed or upset, I know I will have a bad night.

Most people do, if you have a lot on your mind when you're trying to dose off then you're most likely going to have a hard time falling asleep and normally that will result in tossing and turning yourself to sleep.

This can be related to a variety of things. One of the most common issues has to do with sleeping position and also outside distractions. Do you find yourself leaving the television on? Do you have noisy family members/roommates? Do you sleep with the light on? A variety of things can contribute to unrestful sleep. The key is to take note of your habits and try changing small habits.

Generally People toss and turn because something is bothering them or they have a lot on their mind. If it is persistent I would try to talk to someone If that doesn't work go to your doctor and tell them what is going on. Getting enough sleep is so important!

This may be your method of getting comfortable or finding a better sleeping position. It's just your body's way of getting ready for sleep, however this may be counter-productive and keep you awake.

It can be really difficult to sleep soundly when you haven't given your body an expected schedule that includes working out, eating healthy and drinking plenty of water.
