Many people complain of frequently waking up in the middle of the night.

This kind of “behavior” of the body does not lead to anything good: sleep becomes intermittent, and in the morning the person feels “broken”.

Night awakenings can be caused by various reasons: illness, stress, incorrect functioning of the “biological clock”, etc.

However, following five simple steps can often solve the problem.

Go to the doctor

The first thing a person who frequently wakes up in the middle of the night should do is visit a medical facility.

Go to the doctor. Perhaps the specialist will find the source of the problem. Perhaps something is wrong with the cardiovascular system. It is possible that a hormonal imbalance has occurred.

The doctor will prescribe a treatment that is highly likely to be effective.

Put your smartphone away before bed

Give up the habit of “sitting” on a mobile device before going to bed.

In addition, you should not watch TV or work on the computer late at night.

At this time it is better to read a book.

Avoid heavy foods before bed

Another common cause of waking up at night is eating heavy food late at night.

Avoid eating right before bed and you're less likely to wake up in the middle of the night.

Evening walk

Instead of having a late dinner and surfing the internet, take a walk before bed.

Fresh air and moderate physical activity will have a positive effect on the body.

Turn off the lights and close the curtains

Make sure the room is dark.

First, turn off the table lamp. Sleeping with the light on is definitely not the best solution.

Secondly, curtain the windows so that the light from street lamps does not disturb you.

Previously, experts explained whether it is possible to drink tea at night.
