Re: Not being able to STAY asleep
[ QUOTE ]
There are a couple things that can cause this. First, if you're overweight or often drunk when you go to sleep, you might have apnea. Apnea happens when your throat closes while you're asleep, and you can't breathe. After several seconds, your body panics, and you wake up very briefly, adjust your position, and go back to sleep. Then it happens again in a few minutes to an hour. Apnea is typically accompanied by loud snoring. If you develop apnea at 21, you need to lose weight or stop drinking so much.

Niether one is a problem.

Another possibility is just that you have poor sleep hygiene, and it's catching up with you as you get older. This means you go to bed and get up and different times on different days, so your body doesn't have a consistent schedule.

Now here you might be on to something. I have no set sleep schedule whatsoever. I pretty much just sleep when I get tired , and now that I'm on break, get up whenever I want to. I'll have to look into this one, although it may be difficult to change.
