I get to sleep fine but always wake two or three hours later. I get back to sleep ok but wake a couple more times and find it difficult to get back to sleep.
What I am writing about is the feeling of heaviness deep inside after my final sleep. Is this something to worry about? It goes after I get up

Hello sleeper1 and welcome to the forum.

It’s great to hear that you’re able to fall asleep soon after going to bed and it sounds like you’re getting some sleep each night. It’s not uncommon for people to experience short awakenings multiple times during the night. Our sleep drive becomes diminished after about 5 hours of sleep so do you think you’re achieving somewhere around 5 or so hours before waking and finding it difficult to fall asleep again? Are you continuing to lie in bed frustrated or are you getting out of bed and doing something enjoyable before returning to bed a few minutes later? Can you detail what you describe as a “heaviness deep inside”?
