How frustrating is it to wake during the night?

If you are fortunate enough to fall asleep, how frustrating is it to wake during the night? Some people manage to roll over and drift back off, but we know that's much easier said than done.

Do you have any tips for getting back to sleep after waking during the night? Anything that has worked for you? Anything you would advise others to never try?

  1. Reading

    1. Hi . Do you fall asleep after a while when you read or do you get caught up in the book? Any favorite genres? I love to read myself to sleep as well, but I have to stay away from mysteries and thrillers are night. I'm too prone to nightmares. Best wishes. - Lori (Team Member)

  2. Does anyone use a patch? Zleep or other. Does it help???

    1. That is a great question, , however it will soon get buried in these comments and bring in few responses. You might want to repost in the Forums section. Here is a link: https://insomnia.sleep-disorders.net/forums. I hope you get lots of input. I am interested in hearing about the experiences of others myself since my greatest issue with melatonin is that it doesn't keep me alseep. Best wishes. - Lori (Team Member)

  3. Have none be cause nothing worked

    1. I know you are struggling with treatment. Have you considered finding a new doctor, maybe a new sleep specialist or neurologist? Thinking of you. - Lori (Team Member)

  4. Drink water

    1. Do I understand correctly, that you often wake up for water in the night?
