Should I Wake Up At Four Or Five

Why do I wake up after 4 to 5 hours?

This happens to me all the time as well - it’s completely natural. There is a phenomenon called biphasic sleep, where you sleep in two periods during a twenty-four hour period. Usually this would mean 4–5 hours asleep, then an hour or two awake, then a few more hours of sleep. Our ancestors used to sleep like this, and even referred to these periods as “first” and “second” sleep. In modern times we’ve dropped this habit in favor of efficiency (if you sleep through the night you have an extra one or two hours to get more work done in the day), but it doesn’t mean that it’s a bad way to sleep. If you have the flexibility to wake up a bit later and you can get back to sleep, you’ll feel great.One technique that helps me sleep through the night, believe it or not, is a tablespoon or two of almond butter before bed. The theory is that this keeps your blood sugar even as you sleep, so you’re less likely to wake up. Seems to work most of the time. A guaranteed way for me not to wake up is taking a small amount of Benadryl, but I don’t like to do this very often.

Should I wake my four-year-old if he hasn't eaten dinner yet?

I really love Nita's answer cause she's completely right! These preschoolers should have a schedule going already, so if they are asleep while everyone is eating, do all the parent checks- Is he hot, is he going to puke, was he incontinent, is he really lethargic, does he get total pissed if you try to wake him up, is he holding an ear, are his lips dry, will he drink some juice or ginger ale. You've had him 4 years already so you have some intuition on if he's getting sick. Toddlers and preschoolers love to get sick around 2am on Friday and Saturday nite. Or did y'all just have a rip roaring day at the waterpark and he's exhausted and ate too many Skittles. So if he seems pretty tired on this off kinda day, I would just eat quietly, go to bed early, and check him through the night. And you won't be the only mom who let her angel wear his regular clothes instead of PJs to bed. Unless you want to be The Joker at midnight.

Why do I keep waking up at 4 AM?

Note: I don't believe in superstition. I rather follow scientific approach which is done on the basis of research and studies and on the unexplained - having both reasons of scientific and cosmic/paranormal in nature.

Is it better to wake up naturally after 4-5 hours, or go back to sleep and wake up with the alarm after 6-7 hours?

Every natural function is widely preferable to any technical intrusion. When you sleep 5 hours long and wake up rested and feel well, there’s no reason why you should still lay down and try to sleep again and undergo an alarm.Each one of us has similar needs, an adult suould sleep about 6–8 hours. But there are some people whose need is wider, and some whose need is shorter. An alarm is necessary when you must go to work, and you’re not sure you’re able to wake up in time.

I naturally wake up after sleeping 5 hours. Should I go back to sleep?

Sleep naturally comes in cycles of roughly 90 minutes, and it’s said that we need between 3 and 5 cycles. Each cycle follows a pattern which ends with REM sleep (the kind where you dream, and essential for a good night’s sleep). I find my first cycle is usually more like 2 hours, perhaps partly because of the time it takes to get to sleep in the first place. If you follow the usual pattern, then you are waking up after 3 cycles, which MAY be enough for you. However, it is perfectly normal to wake after a number of cycles and then go back to sleep for one or two more. I typically wake briefly after 6.5 hours (4 cycles), then go back to sleep and wake again, feeling refreshed, after another 90 minutes (8 hours or 5 cycles in all). It depends whether you feel fully awake and alert after your 3 cycles.
