There is nothing wrong with waking up occasionally at night.
But if the phenomenon occurs every night, then this is a very serious problem.
Especially if you wake up between 03:00 and 04:00.
Why is your night's rest interrupted at this time? There is a possible reason.
It is possible that the issue is a high level of anxiety or serious stress.
During the day or evening hours, do you constantly worry about problems at work, school or family?
Then don’t be surprised that you wake up every night at 3-4 o’clock!
The fact is that it is during this period of time that cortisol, the stress hormone, is actively produced.
And for a person who often worries or is anxious about something, a high level of this hormone is already characteristic.
As a result, at 03:00 a hormonal “surge” occurs, which causes a person to wake up.
To avoid this, try to take a more relaxed attitude towards problems.
In addition, it is advisable to consult a doctor: perhaps a specialist will find out the exact reason for waking up at night and will be able to help you restore normal sleep.
It is worth emphasizing that regular night awakenings can have other causes (poor nutrition, bright light in the bedroom, problems with the endocrine system, etc.)
