Do you wake up in the middle of the night?

I always wake up in the middle of the night, as this is the only time I can really concentrate on my work when my baby is sleeping tight. Also, I do like this quiet and relaxing moment in the midnight, where I feel really comfortable and also less disturbance. It's a good time to do mylotting too, because I can read and write more comfortably. I usually sleep at the same time as my son sleeps, hopefully by 12am, then I might get up in the middle of the night to do some work using my computer. Sometimes, I keep working until the morning and I need to get ready to go to work straight. It's a bit tiring sometimes, but I really enjoy this peaceful moment.

that is not really healthy for you because the sleep that you get after going back to sleep is not as deep as the sleep you have before you get up.

Hi there, thanks for your response. Actually I always enjoy going back to sleep after I wake up, I think I can still sleep very well after that. But, I do agree with you, it might not be healthy. So, I always try to sleep earlier, and may be wake up about 4 o'clock in the morning, as I still need to get some work done.

I am often up by 2:30 AM, at this time of the morning I get quite and can do my computer work. This means I go to bed early, usually around 5 PM for a two hour nap then back to sleep at 11:00PM

I have terrible insomnia and will only hit the sack at the wee hours of the morning. When I hear the first c@ck crow I know I need to warm my bed. Midnight for me is still very young and my eyes are still wide awake.

For me it is more like I don't go to sleep until the middle of the night. The reason for this is much like your reason for waking in the middle of the night. It is easier for me to get things done when the children are asleep than when they are awake. I really do feel like I need to change my sleeping habits, but it is so hard to do. Eventually I will have a normal schedule, but it could be a while before I accomplish that.

Not normally but there are a lot of times I do. When there are things on my mind, it is hard for me to go to sleep in the first place. So if I do get to sleep, likely, I will not stay there for much time at all. Thankfully those nights do not happen all that often. Which is a good thing. I enjoy my sleep and need it to function. Without any sleep, I tend to be rather irritated to say the very least. Still there are times where it takes me a while to get to sleep and then there are times where I wake up randomly. I just hope that its not past a certain point. When its past about three thirty, four AM, I basically am not getting back to sleep any time soon. I just lie in bed, until a decent hour, hoping against all hope that I go back to sleep. Thankfully it does not happen all that often.

Nowadays I often wake up during the sleep at night. I guess there are mainly two reasons. One is that I've already passed the healthiest stage of my life. When I was a university student, I seldom face such situations during the night. Another reason is that I'm busy working in the daytime. After I return home, I feel almost exhausted, but I still need to consider a lot regard my work. For my brain could not completely has a rest, it's not strange that I often wake up at night.

I should give you some suggestion that you should pay attention to you "body clock",or this habit will affect your heath.when we have our own family,we have to do with something that we are forced by family reason,sometimes i also face with this situation.we needo't wait for a long time,baby will growe up some day, at that time we won't be young any longer.of cours ,we also like that quiet,which make me calm down to think about something,not to be disturbed.

No I do not wake up in the middle of the night. I stay up until I am really exhausted usually around 12 or 1 am. Then when I am totally exhausted I go to sleep and sleep so soundly until my alarm clock wakes me up in the morning and then I have to drag my self out of bed and take care of my 2 year old and get my 6 year old ready for school. Once a week or so my sister will go out and I will take care of her daughter. She doesnt get back here until about 2:30 am so I fall asleep on the couch near my niece. When my sister comes in it wakes me up and I go upstairs then to sleep and have a really hard time. I usually lay there for a few hours it sucks.

I never do it because I am always awake during those time and I often goes to sleep after 12 am or 2am in the wee hours then sometimes wake up before 4 am that is the time for me to wee. Good to know you are very active lotting while I hibernate for more than 2 weeks having to attend other activities and just be here when their is task available. I am just recuperating so just slowly back again to reply to other discussion, checking friends activities and reading some hilarious discussion.

I will usually wake up in the middle of the night - more on the morning side of things, though, usually - I'll wake up anywhere from 4 to 6 am and stay up probably for about a half an hour. This has been happening more and more lately just because my work schedule is so messed up! I'm used to waking up at about 5:30 AM but I recently just switched back to evenings..So I COULD sleep until 12..Or LATER! But I just can't. . Oh well!
