The short answer is yes, most definitely.The science is: the blue range light from screens, (cpu, cell, tablet) if unmodified short circuits the natural melatonin cycle in the brain.Melatonin goes goes up in the evening (all things being on diurnal cycle), and this fosters ease in getting to sleep. The iPhone, a few months back, included a programmable yellowish screen to cancel the blue. It's optional, many don't know it's included in iOS updates on 5s and later but it does need to be set. Here's a link: Night Shift automatic Sunrise/Sunset schedule missing in iOS 9.3? Here’s the fixAndroid has apps and may have included in latest OS. Here it is in Google Play: Night Shift: Blue Light Filter - Android Apps on Google PlayEssentially: when you wake in the night some best practices are:Don't turn on any LED lights - until they've been engineered to warm wave length (give warm tones) they're going to wreck melatonin. Use dimmers for smallest bit of illumination as neededTry using a timed narrative. Some apps such as Audible will read your book or other material to you, plus the app includes a bedtime timer to be set as desiredStop using blue light screens at least two hours before bed to ensure you don't alter melatoninIf you encounter automatic security lights protect your eyes. I learned the hard way when walking my dogs late one evening - didn't sleep a wink after the brilliant blast in my faceBestPS: I understand that yellow lens sunglasses can be used pending blue light filtering for cell and cpu.
Waking up in the middle of the night and passing out in the bathroom?
Has he ever been tested for epilepsy? i had a friend that had a very mildy form he would jus be walking to the kitchen then hed wake up later really confused. He has hit his head alot and even bloody his nose really bad a couple of times. he always jus thought he had blackout or passed out. i even saw him have a very tiny one one night i was ther he was walking and kinda stumbled and shook paused for a while and then didnt remember anything...So i recommend he jus go to the doc-ask alot of questions-im sure its somethin that can be easily treated.

Waking up constantly in the middle of the night?
I'm very concerned for my fiance. He has been getting up lately in the middle of the night after having strange dreams, thinking it's time for work (his work schedule varies from 5am-11am), showers in a hurry thinking hes late, gets out of the shower and then realizes it's 3am or 1am (etc.). and goes back to bed. Sometimes he gets so confused he gets up showers eats and as he's walking to his car before realizing what time it is. I've only woken up twice to this, but he's told me it's now happened at least six times. Can anyone suggest a reason for his behavior or a correct doctor he might want to see?
Aloha , What you have found is :A bee that has wore out the ‘Velcro of its ’ wings due to it age or use of it wings flying from flower to flower and the Velcro latches to fly and in latches to crawl into a flower . It all depends on how far ,how often , latches and unlatches . When the front ‘eyelets’ are torn and the back ‘leading edge ‘ of hooks can’t latch , she is a goner . It might be right at home that when she came in last night ,that they tore or out in the field . If it happens out in the field ,its a bit to far to walk home . They could be at home and just stay home to take up ‘hive’ duties again , but that only happen ‘if’ last night was that time that winter fall apon that area and then she will not go to the landing area of the front door of the hive . But lets say its still warm and the hive is busy collecting nectar , Her instinct says ‘go forth and get nectar for the winter food supplies . So ,here she is tiring vainly to fly at the front door , now what ? Not to worry , here comes the Mortician Bee of the hive to help her out !She tells her new friend what up and her ‘new’ friend says , ’No problem ,I’ll gave you a lift to where their working today’ and she picks her up and flies out about a mile from the hive and drops her baggage to return to the hive and do it again and again . The bees of a average hive wore out their wings or get lost at the rate of 3,000 bees a day , thus the reason the queen must keep ahead the loss by laying 6–10 eggs a minute all day and 24/7 to keep up .And that is why you found a bee walking home or confused going in circles .Aloha from where the bee could just stay at the beach ,sipping their nectar cocktails ,watch the drones cutting through the surf , but don’t because no one told them that snow does not fall in the lower part of Hawaii .Again ,Aloha !Mark Baker
Seeing things in the middle of the night?
it's fine that you filed this under this category. don't sweat it. the problem with our initial wakeful state, is that often we are not completely out of REM sleep. altho what we know about REM sleep isn't as much as we'd like, we do know that most of our dreaming occurs then. you cycle an REM sleep every hour and a half after falling asleep soundly. if woken during that sleep, we often are more aware of the dreams we had, while in other levels of sleep (if woken up) we may feel as thought we haven't had a dream at all, when we have dreamed all night. there are different levels to waking up naturally (without an alarm clock or sudden noise.) if you are in the middle of an REM cycle and wake up, you may be doing a little sleep waking which is something along the lines of sleep walking without the movement. you are in your dream, susceptible to mental dream state suggestion, while also semi conscious of what is around you. in this state you may think that you are seeing something that you're actually dreaming. this is why so many people wake in the middle of the night to think that there is someone in their room, instead of a situation where someone is awake, then has a "ghostly interaction."
Waking up in the middle of the night shivering?
It could be a number of things, even though there isn't enough information to determine what it is. If the shaking appeared without a fever, it is possible that you suffered from hypoglycemia (low blood sugar), which usually presents with tremors, sweating and anxiety, and can also lead to altered states. Drinking some orange juice or eating anything containing sugar will alleviate the symptoms. If you had a fever with it, then you could be fighting an infection, and you may have sweated out the virus. Also, depending on your age, it could be related to hormones. In any case, I would definitely go to see a health care practitioner to get this checked out. If it really was a severe fluctuation in blood sugar, it needs to be addressed as soon as possible. With issues regarding the adrenals and blood sugar, whether it is hypoglycemia (which is fairly rare in non-diabetics) or diabetes or pre-diabetes, it is important to get a diagnosis as soon as possible. With early detection, severe complications can be avoided, and these conditions can often be very successfully managed with diet and lifestyle changes alone without need for medications.
Waking up in the middle of the night EXTREMELY thirsty...??? why?
If it is just the once, maybe you were sleeping with your mouth open (joke) Really, if you seem to be drinking a vast amount of fluids, go to your GP and ask about diabetes (or look it up, don't know if you have any other risk factors, e.g. weight, age, family history). Maybe keep a record of how much you actually drink, to give you an objective picture of whether it is really excessive or not. The amount of salty foods and alcohol will obviously also affect your thirst.
My 5 yr. old daughter wakes up confused at night.?
She's probably sleep walking. My little brother used to do this and we'd find him asleep on the stairs or in other rooms. It may seem harsh for a 5 year old but maybe put up a baby gate in her room? You can show her how to open it s she can do it while she's awake during the day but at night she most likely won't be able to. Another option is putting pull ups on her at night so in case she has an accident. Good Luck
It’s a variation of sleepwalking. I do it quite often.Apparently, I’ll sit bolt upright and either laugh or talk some loud unintelligible bollocks, and then go ‘back’ to sleep.There isn’t really a ‘why’, as it’s not something I have control over, and more often than not I have no awareness of doing it either. It’s a sleep disorder,You can see a specialist if you like, but it’s a waste of money because they have no idea what causes it either. Stress and booze amplifies it for me, but not always.
