I’ve often had issues with the type of insomnia where I wake up in the middle of the night and am unable to return to sleep. I have no problem falling asleep initially, but I’ll sleep straight for about 4 hours then wake up and that’s it for the night.

Sometimes I wonder if it’s because of the summer and because of the fact that it gets light so much earlier now (it did seem like I was sleeping better in the winter). Other times I wonder if maybe my white noise machine is too loud and it’s actually waking me up. Other times I wake up and I’m sweaty and hot, despite going to bed perfectly comfortable.

Either way, it’s frustrating and I’m wondering if any of you have had experience with this type of insomnia and what you’ve been able to do about it.
