Inability to sleep through the night

[2centsworthy]

It does come with age or when person is "troubled".

According to a TCM physician a friend consulted, sleep by 11pm to 2am at least. It is then the body shut down to release and clear toxins in the body. Upon waking, drink 4 cups of water (alkaline if possible, eg diamond filtered water), sip by sip. Take short naps whenever possible.

Thanks. But also curious, this ‘age’ mentioned, what kind of age group is it? DH just hit 40, seems a little early …

[Mvm]

I’m also having this "intermittent sleep" almost every night. I’ll get up at least 2-3 times a night.

Will both gender face similar symptoms?

Stress or to go wee wee? I used to feel thirsty at night & drink lots of water before sleep. And resulted in getting up & go washroom 3 times a night. Really disrupted my sleep. I reduced my intake of fluid nowadays but occasionally still wake up 2 to 3 times a night to go wee wee! :faint:

And now, not just taking a toll on him…think I’m starting to get affected cos’ I’ll wake up too (but I do doze off after 30mins or so…)

I think it is purely stress. Just relax for a while; may be without assessment books :evil: Or it could be work-related stress.

Yeah I think it's stress. May b think too much. How about change sleeping pattern, sleep a bit later & see if he still wake up @ 4am?
