Why Do I Get A Full Nights Sleep And Still Wake Up Tired?

Tweet

We all have a problem sleeping from time to time. Still others wake up day after day feeling sluggish and fatigued. Have you had a physical lately? Diseases and bad health can weaken the body and make us feel tired. Here are some other things that may cause a person to not get the rest they need: 1. Acid reflux can cause you to awaken from your sleep. You may have symptoms of heartburn. Or you may just have fitful sleep. I have this occasionally and get a couple Tums and eat them and I am fine. 2. Nocturia is another. This is when you wake up alot in the night to go to the bathroom. The National Sleep Foundation says that about 65 percent of adults are not getting their rest due to this problem. I found it interesting that normally our bodies will concentrate our urine so we can get six to eight hours of sleep. But, when we get older things don't work as well. 3. Bruxism is when your jaw pops and clicks. Teeth grinding. It is a subconscious neuromuscular body activity. You may not be aware of it. Either your mate will tell you or the dentist will detect the wear on the teeth. You may have sore face muscles. 4. Restless Leg syndrome. Doctors aren't sure what causes this. If you wake up with the covers wrapped around you this may be the reason. 5. Shift Scheduling. Or working under bright lights. Working late night to early morning can cause all kinds of problem with the sleeping cycle. We are normally meant to sleep at night and be awake during the day. 6. Sleep Apnea. Snoring. This is when there is an unconscious airway obstruction. In overweight people this happens. About 20 million people suffer from this. 7. Screens of newer TVs and technology. Modern technology is such that the light they emit can cause a disruption in our sleep cycle. Falling asleep with a light left on, a TV left on or the light your cell phone may have on it can all be a problem. 8. Maintaining a sleep schedule. Even on the weekends. If some get off their regular schedule it can be very hard to get back to sleeping well. To calculate the correct amount of sleep you need you can use an app like Sleepyti.me to calculate the best time to fall asleep, based on your sleep cycles. 9. Snack on the right food. If you need to have a snack before bedtime be sure it is something that will help you sleep, not impede it. Coffee and black tea is not a good choice because of the amount of caffeine in them. Cherries or their juice is very good. Low-fat items low carbohydrates. 10. If you are bored, stressed, anxious, over worked, burnt out or have experienced a major event in your life these things can cause you not to get a restful night's sleep. So, if you have a new job, a breakup or a move this could cause you problems. If this goes on for more than two weeks you should consult a mental health professional.
