When sleeping... do you wake up and can easily go to sleep again?

Sleeping is very important to all of us. Unfortunately, I can't always sleep well most of the time. Although I seldom wake up during the night, I sleep a little late. Most of the time though, I will feel energetic the next day. I may wake up and go to the toilet once during the night but I will fall sleep again soon. Do you wake up just to go to toilet? Or eat some food because of hunger? Will you be woken up by noise easily? What kind of noise usually wake you up? When you have to wake up at night, will it be easy for you to sleep again?

Wow! Good for you. I wish I could do the same. It would really be cool to continue with the same dream especially if it is a good one.

That is a big problem to me. I can easily be awake with noises that i hear and have a hard time to go back to sleep. No matter how late I sleep at night, if i just heard some noise, I would really wake up.

Hi dolce_vita! It is really not difficult for me to go back to sleep when I get awakened in the middle of the night or my sleep. I tend to fall asleep quickly but there are those times that sleep is difficult to come by sometimes especially when I got scared of something in the middle of the night. I guess, I can always fall asleep quickly because I feel secured that my husband is with me but if he is away sometimes, that is the time I can't just go back to sleep easily. Take care always..God Bless!

Sometimes, when I feel really tired, I can easily go back to sleep when I would wake up in the middle of the night. Other times, I would just not immediately go back to sleep. I would probably sleep in the wee hours of the morning and I would find myself feeling sleepy during the day.

I find if i wake up from sleep i have a really hard time getting back to sleep again. This happened to me last night, when i woke up in the middle of the night to go get a drink of water, and was unable to get back to sleep again until really early in the morning.

Any kind of noise wakes me up at night. And after that I find it difficult to go back to sleep. It is only during the cold weather and rainy season that I get up in the middle of the night to go to the toilet.

I get up at least once most nights to go to the toilet. I can go to sleep really easily after, I actually love waking up in the night, I always look at the time and because it is always the early hours when I wake up I always think "ooh, I have got ages til I have to get up yet!". No noise wakes me up, unless it is my daughter shouting for something!

I always sleep late and i wake up in the morning to go to the restroom.I would sleep more for awhile and wake up again about 8 am because my daughter will leave for school at 8:15 am.After that i can't sleep back again.Our place is very peaceful specially during night time so no noise could wake me up.

If i'm tired enough i'll sleep thru the night no problem. Some nights I wake up numerous times and i'll take a walk thru the house and make sure things are secure...even though I do this before I go to bed at night. Sometimes i'll peek in the fridge and grab a snack and go back to bed and it's not easy at all for me to go back to sleep... Sometimes it takes me 2 or more hours to fall back to sleep and then it seems like I no more than close my eyes and it's already time to get up for work... I hate it when that happens.

It depends...If i go to bed early to get more rest and wake up beacuse of something in the middle of the night, yes, it´s hard for me to go back to sleep right away. Sometimes i even stay awake a couple of hours before i can get back to sleep. But if i go to bed late i usually don´t wake up in the middle of the night, maybe baecause i´m more tired those times. But what i really hate is when i´m asleep and my husband is awake, he´ll turn on the tv and then I can´t sleep and i turn around and he´s sound asleep! That´s very annoying.

As the mother of 3 small children sleep is a luxury. So when I get to sleep I sleep no waking up no nothing. However, I in the past 3 years I have yet to sleep through the night, because all 3 kids have yet to sleep through the night on the same night. I am happy if I get 4 straight hours. If I do then I feel pretty good the next day. Otherwise I do not feel nearly as good. Most nights I do get the 4 hours in a row, but the last few I have not. Before I had kids I used to wake to use the toilet at least once. Before kids it would take a grenade to wake me now I may not here others noises but if one of the kids cries I hear it no matter how tired I am.

[i]Hi dolce, I always wake up to pee in the middle of the night but I haven't tried waking up just to eat..LOL! I am very lazy about it and when I am too tried, I can even sleep even without dinner!I am not sensitive about noises around, that will not wake me. I remember when I was in College, everyone was awake and nervous because of the fire near us but they find it hard to wake me..LOL! Anyway, lately, I have noticed that when hubby will stand from the bed, I can easily wake up because he shakes the bed hard! LOL![/i]

I am also the kind of person that sleeps very late at night, and mostly, you can say that I sleep too early, too early in the morning. So I have a very little time to sleep well on working days. But I get to sleep longer on weekends. If I sleep, it will be until the morning and I don't have to go to the toilet again or have some food if I get hungry. Though we live along side of the road, I am cannot be easily awaken by load voice chatting or vehicles that pass by. But if there is an emergency, like somebody came in the middle of the night and calls, I can be easily awaken. I can also get back to sleep when I wake up in the night. (neildc @ red/89/1751)

Hi friend! I don't have a hard time going back to sleep if I'm awaken at night or wee mornings. I'm used to it because of my dogs waking me up. They don't bark or make noise at all, but they go up and down of the bed and sometimes they purposely wake me up if they want to lie down beside me. I don't feel hungry when I'm asleep already. But sometimes I do wake to take a pee. Ciao!

Yup, sleep is so important, and I'd really hate anything or anyone to disturb my sleeping hours. So when I feel that urge to go to the toilet, I'd try to hold it until it's near bursting. Once I wake up and go, I'd be fully awake, and it'd hard for me to fall back to sleep. I seldom wake up hungry at night - but if I do, then it's again no more sleep until almost morning. I just don't get it - why I feel sleepy only near waking time????

many people here on earth believes that when u woke up u can't go to bed or sleep again, i usually disagree with that because i'm someone who also sleep and after waking up,i can still sleep again. in my reseache,let me say u woke up at 3am to do something else just for 5min so if i may ask what are u going to used the rest hour to do.What i'm trying to say here is that the time u goes to bed to sleep again that is the time that the sleep we be intresting. So most of the time i woke and goes to bed to sleep again
