Lately I've been waking up early, several times a morning. I go to sleep anywhere between midnight and 3 am. I've been waking up between oh, about 5:30 and 7 am, two or three times. Usually I go back to sleep after a short time. Could this just be that spring is coming? Maybe I should just get up next time it happens...

Am I getting old lady habits :eek: ?

Anybody's mom or grandma do this?

Peace,
Cassandra

Yeah, i know someone's grandmother who wakes up at exactly 3am everyday, but she sleeps at about 8 so I think you're still safe. :p

Is there a lot of sunlight in you room at 5:30-7am? That might be it, maybe you could try making your room get less light so that your room would be more conducive for sleeping.

No, there's no light during the first "wake ups", just the numbers on the clock glow.

I need to sleep on your friend's grandma's schedule :) I wonder if this body is just tired of the night life.

I wake up all night long every hour or so I fall back to sleep right away but its annoying and I always wake up 15 minutes before my alarm goes off and instead of just gettin up because I am awake I go back to sleep and then when my alarm goes off I dont want to get up !! but this waking up thing is new and not an old lady habit even though I have found 3 gray hairs this week!!!

Wow, Libra, that's sounds rough.

Well, I woke up early again today and just got up.

Actually, I've got more things done today than usually gets done :bud:
Even went laid out in the woods for a while and watched some creatures :animal-sm

Lol, I quit counting my gray, err...silver, hairs.

Peace,
Cassandra

i have lots of problems w/ sleeping & its related to my bipolar spectrum. waking up a lot, especially in the early morning is a sign of underlying depression, or so ive been told by my docs. btw, ive had a ton of problems w/ waking up in the morning & not being able to get up. mood disorders often cause sleep disturbances.

if you think this may apply to you, maybe you could see a good shrink. if not, then ignore what ive said.

peace & love

peace & love:) That's interesting.

If the waking up is a sign of depression does that mean that maybe the proccess of waking up is the brain's way of trying to adjust things. To make you get up earlier so that you are exposed to more sunlight. I say that because I have really good days when I get up during one of the awakenings.

I got up early today, when the first awakening came. I've gotten so much done, without really trying. lol. I've been in a happy mood all day. Nothing has bothered me all day. And right now I have this neat surrealistic feeling where this morning feels like yesterday.

Or it could just be that the moon is getting full.

Peace :love-smil
