How many times do you wake up during the night?

[BrianNole777]

About 30% of Americans struggle with sleep issues like insomnia.

I read it's normal to wake up 3 or 4 times during the night. I wake up about that amount and will lay in bed and meditate or pray.

I also take Melatonin twice a week if I want to be sure to sleep well.

How many times do you wake up during the night?

 

[millah_22]

Once to take a monster piss, and usually once bc the baby cryin'.

Melatonin give's me absolute vivid dreams, and the first time one of those was a nightmare I stopped taking it. Don't need to see that again.

Try not to drink liquids 3 hours before bedtime and you should be golden.

 

[Funky Bunch]

Depends on how frisky your mom is

SON OF A BITCH!

 

[BioHawk]

On average, once or none, but I typically only sleep about 5-6 hours at a time. My body gets sore if I lay down for much longer than that. A consequence of getting old I guess. If I'm lucky I'll get a nap in the afternoon.

 

[Rifler]

Same here, once or not at all,.. Pisses my wife off.

 

[DooBi]

2 or 3. It's less now that I have my blood sugar under control a little better. Was every 2 hours on the nose. You could set your clock to it. Now I sleep much better.

 

[QChawks]

rarely

although after 5-6 hrs any sort of noise and I am awake

 

[ParkerHawk]

I wake up 4-5 times. Takes me 8 hours to get 6 hours of sleep

[jasonrann]

No more than once to piss. Since I quit drinking, the quality of my sleep has increased bigly.

 

[hydro2.0]

I’d average two. Between TBW rolling around and me just waking up

 

[Hoosierhawkeye]

It's weird some nights I wake up multiple times, a number of times that I can't even keep count.

Other nights I don't at all. Last night I slept straight through the night. The night before I woke up at least 3 times.

 

[ButtersHawk]

I bet on average 4/5 times a night

This. I've been a shit sleeper since I turned 20. I don't really need much though.

I broke my nose in HS and never fixed it therefore I only breathe thru one nostril. Because of that I mouth breathe at night and wake up constantly to drink water for my dry throat. Which in turn wakes me up at least once to piss so it's a vicious circle.

Luckily I am the same and can run all day on 5-6 hours of sleep

 

[ATLNole1]

Usually never unless there is a loud noise that wakes me up. I started taking a magnesium supplement before bed and my sleep is much better than it used to be.

 

[BrianNole777]

I think that's normal.

Try focusing on your breathing when you can't sleep. It's like half sleep.

 

[ParkerHawk]

Yes, I have a little device I use for "breathing" exercises

If I can ask, what did you do for blood sugar control?

 

[Derekd3408]

Never.

Melatonin does the same for me. It was wild and violent of a dream. No thanks on the tonin.

 

[nu2u]

I sleep without waking …and it is deep sleep. It is worrisome because my sleep is so deep I feel like someone could break into my house and rummage with reckless abandon and I wouldn’t notice or fidget at all.

Also quick to fall asleep so occasionally find myself waking up at 6am and surprised to find that I’m sitting in the lazy boy as a consequence of nodding off watching TV the night before.

 

[GOHOX69]

2 or 3. It's less now that I have my blood sugar under control a little better. Was every 2 hours on the nose. You could set your clock to it. Now I sleep much better.

If I may ask, wtf was your sugar level? Every 2 hrs? Have you had your kidneys looked at?

One of my favorite games is to take 2 Mellies and see how many times I can wack it before I pass out. Best part is I always win

 

[Colonoscopy]

Between 0 and 1. Also, there is no god.

 

[Bro D]

Never if I eat some indica gummies before bed. The ones with CBN are great too. The melatonin infused ones will knock you out in 10 minutes

Then who's tying me down and putting a sock in my mouth every night?

Do you feel groggy when you wake up?

 

[Aardvark86]

Depends on the degree to which my puppy has the runs as we've been transitioning him to a different brand of food.

 

[Bro D]

Do you feel groggy when you wake up?

Yea, for about 5 minutes then I feel great

 

[ping72]

0-1. And if I do, it is extremely rare if I’m not sound asleep again in a few seconds.

 

[GOHOX69]

If you are waking up at night to piss, you really should get a full physical. I cannot stress this enough. Esp. kidney, bladder, sugar, acetylated hemoglobin etc. Don't blow it off. We don't want a dead HORT/GIAO dude or dudette, especially the fun, insane, tin foil types.

 

[Obviously Oblivious]

Just occasionally will I wake up fully while sleeping. When I do it's usually to pee or because I've started to sweat because I'm too warm. We sleep with a box fan running on high and a white noise machine. I think it helps.

 

[DooBi]

If I can ask, what did you do for blood sugar control?

Cut out sugar for the most part. Exercise a lot more. I downloaded the Fatsecret app to log all my calories each day. I've lost 20 pounds since January 15th.
