Why You May Be Waking Up A Lot During The Night

Is counting sheep just not working for you anymore? Well, you’re not alone. There are a bevy of potential contributing factors to your middle of the night mayhem, and it’s time to rule some of them out.

Here are some questions to ask yourself if you’re struggling with falling asleep or staying asleep…

What’s the temperature? If the room is too hot or too cold, that could disrupt your sleeping instantly.

Do you have dry skin? No, this isn’t as random as it sounds…eczema, or dry skin in general, could be causing you to wake up out of pure itchiness.

Are you taking any allergy medications? Restless leg syndrome can be worsened by some allergy meds. Restless leg syndrome also affects other parts of your body.

What kind of mattress are you working with? Age of the mattress and firmness of the mattress are both key factors to a good night’s rest. If your mattress is too warn, or too firm, that may be affecting your sleep.

Do you use the bathroom often? Too personal for you? Well, you shouldn’t be using the bathroom THAT often unless you’re pregnant.
