It could be due to depression, anxiety, or stress. When you wake up try doing something, instead of thinking. Or just get out of bed start the day and try to be as productive as you can.

When you wake up, not from an alarm clock or anything, that is your body telling you that you have had enough sleep. You may want to rest some more, but your body doesn't need it so it tells you no.

There are many reasons for that, one of them (from my personal experience) is that you have too many things going on on your mind or something is wrong with the environment you're sleeping in. Working on shifts doesn't help either with this situation.

Wait- is that a bad thing? I love waking up early and not being able to fall back asleep- more time to start my day without rushing - and having the time to chill and meditate.

It can be that you haven't worked too much during the day, and thus your body doesn't feel tired... This is the reason you can't get sleep

This is actually one of the symptoms to mental disorders like depression. If it disrupts the total hours of sleep you're getting, it's good to see a professional regarding your sleep and see how they could guide you to achieve better sleep. Otherwise, you could consider deep muscle relaxation or any other guided relaxation therapies to give your body the rest it deserves.
All the best!

Sometimes detractions in the room can be a problem. Try turning off your cellphone, unplugging the TV and minimizing light and sounds throughout the night. Stress and activity can also play a large part in your life. Remember to practice mindfulness exercises, walk at least 10,000 steps per day, and eat a balanced meal. In Canada, follow the Canadian food guide, it can be the best source for dietary needs.

I have this problem sometimes. Usually it's because my mind is too busy. If I'm wide awake, I go eat something, have some chocolate milk, then lay in bed listening to music, singing along in my head until I fall back asleep.

Depending on your age and habits, this could be down to a number of factors. Unfortunately there's no fast and sure way to know without speaking to someone in depth- if it's becoming a problem for you, I suggest speaking to a medical professional, who can advise you on ways to sleep for longer and have better quality of sleep.

Sometimes because I am thinking so much, my brain wakes me. Or I'm so excited for something the next day.
