    Awake
    ✘ Not a client

      God I hope someone out there can sympathise with what I’m going through.
      I fall asleep beautifully around 9pm every night however at 1am like clockwork I wake and remain awake for 2 hours and then drift back to sleep until 6. Problem is come 2 or 3pm I am literally nodding off in my chair.
      This has been going on for years and I’m tired! Of it.
      I have just sent off for some light therapy glasses to try and reset my circadian rhythm…..who knew this was a thing but I’ll try anything.
      Has anyone suffered similar problems?

        Greetings!
        Someone posted a very similar question here few months ago. He would go to bed at 10pm, frequently woke up around midnight, cant sleep until 3am then would sleep till 7am when he would frequently snooze his alarm till he got out at 8. The remedy was quite simple, just go to bed later. In his case, midnight. For you, I think 11pm would work. You only sleep 7 hours on average so a sleep window of 11pm-6am would be quite appropriate. Just try going to bed at 11pm and get out at 6am for a few weeks and see what happens. Be patient as your body will need some time to adjust. Best wishes and good luck to you!
