Last night I woke up to use the bathroom from deep sleep at three o'clock, but after that I could not fall asleep again. Then I read news on my mobile phone for more than forty minutes and it was almost four o'clock. I was still wide awake. I tried to make me fall asleep again by listening to Bible stories. I did not get up until ten in the morning.
This is not the usual case on me, but one time is enough for the experience.
Have you ever met similar case like I had?

I agree that counting sheep does not always work if we are really wide awake. In most cases, after I get to bed I listen to stories and it works, except a few typical times like I had mentioned here in the discussion. It was a long time I listened to the Bible before I fell asleep again.

@williamjisir66 Yes, those days of needing to bring money in are over for me and my husband. We managed our finances well enough that we can have a comfortable retirement.

So you stay up till four in the morning before you go to sleep? I cannot do that because I have to work the next day. How I wish to get retired, but I still have to wait for many years. I often say to my wife that I want to retire early, but in fact I cannot because I do not work, I don't have income to support the family. Take care, Jabo.

I dont often woke up in the middle of the night. But when i do i also had a hard time falling back asleep so ill grab my phone and read until my eyes are tired. I hate those days tho, especially when tomorrow is a working day. I'll be like a working zombie..

The thinking of working the next day makes me worry a lot if I cannot fall asleep. Take care.

Yeah, I did for almost two days now instead of sleeping six or seven hours at least I end up sleeping around five hours. I've decided to bring back plants into my room, which kinda help.

What plants help you? I also have some small plants, but I have no idea of its English name. I don't think my plants help me though.

@williamjisir66 I have been seeing doctors for the last 10+ years. I have rheumatoid arthritis and fibromyalgia and there isn't a lot they can do.

I am so sorry that you do not have a countinuous sleep because of the pain. Why not see a doctor for some help? I know it is hard to sleep well when we have some problems with our health. A couple of years ago, when I was suffering from kidney stone, I was so painful during the day and night, especially during the night when it was time to sleep. No sleeping position fit me. Only those who experienced it can tell how painful it is! Glad that it is gone after I had an operation on it.

I seldom need to go to the bathroom after midnight, especially when I fall asleep. Even if I do, it is very easy for me to fall asleep again. Since usually I already go to bed very late and I get up early, I feel sleepy sometimes. This is why I almost have no problem to fall asleep at night. I can sleep when my eyes close. Even if I want to think about something before sleeping, I will fail it because I can fall asleep in a minute

Great. A good sleep is too important for the next day's activities. A lack of sleep spoils the day. Thank youless.

I often wake up at 2 or 3 and I have a hard time going back to sleep. I try to think of happy memories and that usually will put me back to sleep again...

Happy memories usually put you back to sleep again. I would like to try. Thank you, friend.

I usually get peaceful sleeps but when attacked by fever I have restless sleeps.
