Waking During the night

[Homer55]

I wake up at least 3 times a night usually at 2:30, 4:30 and again at 6 (sometimes in between these times but usually these).

I wake up feeling refreshed and not too tired, but why do i always wake up at these times? does anyone else?

My son woke up at 12.00, 2.15, 3.30, 4.,15, 6.30 and 7.10.
funnily enough i dont feel refreshed at all. Hes full of beans though. :(

Hi, I think it's something to do with sleep cycles! The average adult [don't quote me on this...lol] takes 3 hours to;fall asleep, sleep, REM, sleep and then wake...or something like that. I always wake up at 3 hour intervals eg. bed at 10, wake at 1,4 and then 7, then I get up. If however you got to bed at 11and have to be up at 7 you will wake mid-cycle and feel like cr*p... You can actually buy an alarm clock that will wake you up at the optimum time!

Not an answer as such but slightly relevant......



Three men were discussing aging at the nursing home. "Sixty is the worst age to be," said the 60-year-old. You always feel like you have to pee. And most of the time, you stand at the toilet and nothing comes out!" "Ah, that's nothin'," said the 70-year-old. "When you're seventy, you can't even crap anymore. You take laxatives, eat bran, you sit on the toilet all day and nothin' comes out!" "Actually," said the 80-year-old, "Eighty is the worst age of all." "Do you have trouble peeing too?" asked the 60-year-old. "No, not really. I pee every morning at 6:00. I pee like a racehorse on a flat rock; no problem at all." "Do you have trouble crapping?" "No, I crap every morning at 6:30." With great exasperation, the 60-year-old said, "Let me get this straight. You pee every morning at 6:00 and crap every morning at 6:30. So what's so tough about being 80?"
"I don't wake up until 7:00."
