37F—Waking up at 3am every morning, unable to go back to sleep until 6am. Anyone can relate? Any tips?
I am making a zombie of myself. For the last year, I’ve been struggling with waking up at 3am, and some mornings are worse than others in terms of getting back to sleep in a timely fashion. For the last week, it’s been terrible. I’ve been unable to get back to sleep until i see the sun start to rise, at which point my body is like “Ahhh! Glorious sleep, embrace me in your arms now and don’t let go. Let me enter into the deepest sleep just in time for the arrival of my alarms”. I know I’m going through peri-menopause to some degree, i always ran cold until the last year when I get hot easily. The last week I’ve also been under extreme stress about a betrayal from a man/heartbreak at some things I uncovered. I’m in shock about that and that’s definitely affecting me.
