      Hi! Glad to be part of the Forum.

      My biggest sleep challenge is staying asleep. I wake up – like clockwork – between 3 and 3:30 and can’t go back to sleep. It’s been going on for about 15 years. Frustrating!

        I have come to accept wee hour wake-ups as part of my usual sleep pattern .  I’ve been off of ambien for 8 mos and working on Xanax

          Congratulations on getting off the Ambien, Gary. Waking during the night is actually quite normal — and is common even among healthy sleepers. The difference is that healthy sleepers don’t pay much attention to these awakenings so they fall back to sleep quickly and rarely even remember waking during the night. By accepting your nighttime awakenings, you are helping to reduce the disruption caused by these awakenings. Keep up the great attitude!

              I’m working on not being stressed out when I wake up, in the hopes I can return to sleep soon after. Sometimes it works. Slow steps.
