Why do I wake up at 4am?

because of your cicle of sleep ended at 4 pm we humans have a cicle of sleep of 4 hours, that's why we need 8 hours of sleep basically 2 cicles ^^

i would wake up at 4am to feel the fresh air and meditate, do some breathing exercises and to get things done through out the day without any rush.

Waking up in the middle at 4 can be normal if you go to bed really early but if you have not slept enough, or are tired, it can be a sign of depression. If it continues, you might want to see a doctor or therapist.

when you sleep, you go through 5 stages. 1 is a light sleep, where your eyes move and your muscles still flex. 2 is where your body and brain begin to relax. 3 and 4 is your deep sleep period and 5 is your REM sleep, in which you dream. You go through these 5 stages a couple times a night. When you wake up at 4AM, without wanting to be awake at 4AM, it could be that something disturbed you while you were in stage1.. or maybe your body had enough sleep.There is an APP that allows you to check your sleep pattern. This is a really helpful way to determine what might causes you to wake up at 4am. Try to relax without tv/computer/phone prior to going to bed, only use your phone to turn the sleep pattern app on, make sure your room is well ventilated and see what the App says when you wake up. It will give you the best idea on why you woke up at 4 and how to change that.

Often times people wake up at early times, because when the brain is transitioning out of the REM cycle, your brain has time to wander. If it your brain thinks of something that causes anxiety/fear, or other extreme emotions - it may be enough to trigger your brain into waking up, rather than continuing into the next sleep cycle.

You probably have trouble with sleep or youre feeling a bad emotion , look for symptoms of insomnia .

My boyfriend is really good at a number of things, and waking up extremely early is one of them! Fortunately, I've never had a problem falling right back to sleep. We're a pretty perfect pair in that.

Maybe you get anxious during sleep and get up earlier than others? Or maybe you just are a person who gets up earlier than other, an 'early bird'. Do u wake up tired?

Once there was a time when I had trouble falling asleep and staying asleep too. This was back when I had trouble between work, school, and home life... I don't know what your story is, but a good night's sleep is important to both your physical and mental well being and if you are having trouble sleeping I would advise consulting our 7 Cups of Tea Guide for Sleeping Well which can be found here http://www.7cups.com/sleeping-well/ ... If the problem persist consider bringing up the topic with someone you trust. I know that everyone's story is different, but for me I started sleeping better when I finally talked to someone I trust about everything that had been weighing on my mind, both good and bad.

There are many reasons why someone might keep waking up in the middle of the night. A major reason could be that you are suffering from a sleep disorder. These include insomnia, sleep apnea and narcolepsy. Sometimes, sleep disorders aren't the culprit. Your sleep pattern can be affected if you have an underlying medical condition for example - anxiety, bipolar disorder or an enlarged prostate. Of course, you might be waking up because of the environment you are in. Noise and strong lights can disrupt your sleep. It is very important that you speak to a medical professional if your sleep problems continue.
