Why do I wake up at 4am?

Sometimes, when I sleep early, I wake up early. Other times, I need to use the bathroom or I'm cold.

There can be many different reasons why you wake up, it is very specific to you. It could be due to nightmares, night sweats, restless nights come from a number of different reasons.

Maybe you go to bed too early, try going a bit later if this is the case. Maybe it's your natural body clock, if this is the case then maybe just accept it. If you wake from having nightmares then maybe see a doctor or try to focus on positive things directly before going to sleep. If you are stressed, depressed this could also be a reason why and lastly if your pregnant this is very normal, I would wake at 3am every night for quite some time during pregnancy.

Maybe you have gotten yourself into a bad habit? What time do you sleep generally? Do you have a sleeping schedule? To sleep better you must make sure all the light has been blocked out meaning curtains closed and doors closed. If there is something on your mind try fix it before bed time if not maybe right about it. Being on technology also affects sleep make sure you aren't on anything whilst trying to sleep

Because something is troubling me. Too much on my mind, stress, tension. Responsibilities that I fear I can't handle. Talking to someone puts everything into perspective.

I wake up that early, if I hear my dog barking at a car, or If I need to get up as early as that to finish a project.

Usually when I wake up that early, it's because of a nightmare. So I typically use the bathroom just in case, drink some water than lay down again. Plug in some music, and just let the time drift away again.

That depends on a lot of different things. I would need to know your symptoms first to give you a proper analasys. But could be stress, lack of melatonin, or other contributing factors.

Hey ! One of the reasons must be your disturbed biological clock. You must have woke up twice or thrice at 4 and then your body adjusted accordingly to wake up around that time. It is biological schedule that the body follows. And the good news, you can make it go your way. :)

Some of us go through alot of stress in our lives, we might not even know the problem. Is there something bothering you?
