waking every 2 hours./Disrupted sleep

Wondering if any others have trouble after they fall asleep waking up every 2 hours. I think the disrupted sleep is really started to effect me. Does any one else have this problem? if I take anything for this, I am tired the next day. Any advice.??

  1. I am sorry to hear about your problem with sleep. My brother has had a severe sleeping disorder. It has a really bad impact on his mind as well as his physical health. He usually took small sleep naps and again woke up. His sleeping disorder made his life worst and created fatigue and mental health problems. A few months back, he consulted with a telehealth Ongo Care doctor. The doctor did some video sessions with him to follow up and evaluate his health condition, He got better advice and medication from them and is now in a good state. So I suggest you consult with a doctor if you are facing this till now. It's become very bad for you if you ignore it.

    1. ...I'm sorry you are struggling, and I know how difficult it makes the work day. I have had a similar problem. Have you tried taking something but taking it earlier than bedtime so that you are sleepy when it's time to turn in for the night?


      I also want to share this with you. The techniques described by one of our advocates in this article have worked for me many times. You might find them handy when you wake during the night. https://insomnia.sleep-disorders.net/video/brain-dump-technique

      1. I wake up every 2 hours to take a potty break. Sometimes, my sleep is interrupted so that l can't go by to sleep. I do feel groggy the next day.

        1. Happens to me too.
