Why? WTF? It's been going on for a while now. Wake up between 4 and 5. Sometimes I'll sleep longer, sometimes (rarely) I'll even wake up in the threes, but it seems like it's 3-4 days per week in the 4s or early 5s. Sometimes more. Anybody else have this shit going on? How do I fix it?
Ok, go.
Wax on and go.
You are old and it's time to wake up that early.
I've been waking up at 3:30-4am for the past two weeks.
Light sleeper and the birds outside the window are fucking loud.
When I started having to get up at 4:00 in the mornings I was in my late 20s. Now if I can sleep past 6:00 it is cause for celebration.
I suggest you explore the wonderful world of the afternoon power nap.
sometime reading a book will put me to sleep, more physical work is more tiring so I sleep better
more likely you will just learn to abide
There is an insomnia thread you may want to look at. I am awake a couple of hours a night, usually between 2:30 and 4:30. And the afternoon nap really helps.
Your evening drunken stuper is wearing off.
ya probably gotta pee…
Could be the A-G-E syndrome. Do you get up and pee or just lie there and go back to
sleep?
Welcome the world of biphasic sleep my friend.
We essentially take 2 long naps a day.
I got to sleep at 12:30am, wake up at 3, go lay on the couch until about 4, then sleep again until about 6-6:30.

Haha, you're getting old!
Edit: that was meant for EWG but could apply to everyone in this thread including me.
Sex used to put me right back to sleep …. Now I’m sleeping better with no sex, so as usual, I’m confused.

Try googling 2 sleeps apparently it was common
turn on the light, read a book which alway puts me to sleep
probably the worst thing to do is try and fix it with sleeping pills
I find 30-50mg of CBD helps my fall back asleep after waking up in the middle of the night. Unfortunately for me 2-4am is when all my business thinking happens, it's a blessing and a curse.

I was gonna crack some wise ass shit about being old.Quote:

Having woken up too soon, I figure that’s the shit. But. Maybe embrace it as normal. Do something. And take that second nap afterwards. Fkna.
Probably put her to sleep tooQuote:

Once people had been awake for a couple of hours, they'd usually head back to bed. This next step was considered a "morning" sleep and might last until dawn, or later. Just as today, when people finally woke up for good depended on what time they went to bed.”
I’m an early morning fan. 415 wake-up, 45 workout, at work at 545. Get in, get shit done, get out. Enjoy your afternoon. Best way to live in my opinion. Key to success - no substances on school nights…

Get up.
Get shit done.
Take a nap in the afternoon.
Embrace the change.
That's the obvious answer. Duh.
Have you tried drinkin piss? It won’t help you sleep, but it tastes delicious
Major insomniac here and when I first started waking at 3:00 a.m. I was told it's the liver or kidneys that flush hence the physical wake up to the bathroom.Quote:

Less about the numbers and more about the sun.
No daylight savings in Japan.
The sun wakes me up. Been that way for over a decade now.
Metabolism makes quite a shift around the age of 40. Don’t fight it.

Manopause
Stay up til 3 or 4 am. Then you should be able to sleep until say 6 or 7 : )
I reject the assumption that we have to start getting up early as we age. My old man is in his 80s and sleeps until 11-noon most days. When I wake up that early, I rub one out, queue up some Bob Ross on the phone, set a sleep timer and am out in minutes.
Rubbing one out to Bob Ross isn't for everyone though.Quote:

I started taking 400mg/ day of Magnesium Glycinate. I sleep a little bit longer and I feel like I sleep deeper and I'm more rested when I wake up. Also, I find that I'm dreaming more. Might be worth a try.
