I wake up in the middle of the night every day

When people have the problem of waking up easily in the middle of the night, they must not take it lightly and think that it is just a simple symptom of insomnia. In fact, many diseases can cause this symptom, such as myocardial ischemia, weak qi and blood, excessive liver fire, menopausal insomnia, or excessive mental stress. If these symptoms occur, it is necessary to properly regulate the body to completely improve the quality of sleep.

1. Myocardial ischemia

The first half of sleep is actually mainly the inhibition of the cerebral cortex, as well as the combined result of physical fatigue and habit. The second half of sleep is the real hibernation of the body. When the heart is not supplied with enough blood, it will affect the blood supply to the brain. At this time, the brain is likely to be in a more excited state to stimulate the normal blood supply to the heart.

2. Weak Qi and blood

2 to 3 a.m. is the normal detoxification time for organs. If the Qi and blood are insufficient at this time, it will affect the normal circulation of Qi and blood in the organs. The body has a self-protection function, so in order to ensure sufficient Qi and blood circulation, it has to speed up its work.

3. Excessive liver fire

1 to 3 o'clock is the detoxification time of the liver. Waking up at this time is mostly due to liver problems.

4. Menopausal Insomnia

When middle-aged people reach menopause, they are prone to anxiety, nervous system disorders, depression, etc., which can easily cause insomnia.

5. High stress in life leads to anxiety about sleep

Many office workers and students should go to bed between 9 and 11 p.m., but many people play with their mobile phones during this time period. At one or two a.m., they start to feel anxious. The more anxious they are, the harder it is to sleep. The harder they sleep, the more they want to play with their mobile phones, forming a vicious circle. Even if I fall asleep in a daze, I will wake up at five or six o'clock. I may have to go to work or work the next day, and I will feel anxious because I am afraid of being late.

If this situation occurs for more than three months, it can basically be called habitual insomnia, which is a psychological disease that may be caused by stress and daily living habits. It is recommended that you download a test paper from the Internet and conduct a self-examination. If the situation is serious, it is recommended that you go to a tertiary hospital to consult a psychologist to see if it is necessary to prescribe some auxiliary drugs. Try to get your sleep back on track and don't ignore it.

6. Lifestyle habits lead to early awakening, which may be caused by oversleeping

Many middle-aged and elderly people get into the habit of taking naps in the summer because the days get longer. It is recommended that the time should not exceed one hour and it must be completed before three o'clock. If you sleep too long, too much, or beyond 3 p.m., it will also affect your sleep at night. This explains why you often wake up between four and five o'clock. It's because your body is telling you that you have had enough sleep.
