Night awakenings are quite common.
In this article, we will tell you why this happens.
What could be the reason for waking up at night
According to research, at three o'clock in the morning a person's body temperature is at its maximum during the entire sleep period and this leads to awakening.
The fact is that it is from 3 to 4 am that our body actively produces cortisol, melatonin and other important hormones.
Therefore, it is quite natural for such anxious people to wake up from 3 to 4 am, because they receive an additional release of these substances.
If a person usually wakes up in the early morning hours, from about 3 to 5 am, feels unreasonable anxiety and cannot sleep, this condition may accompany incipient depression or neurosis.
Therefore, it is imperative to consult a neurologist for advice.
External and internal factors can return a person to a conscious state: noise, bright light, thirst, the need to go to the toilet.
Once the discomfort is eliminated, people usually fall asleep quickly.
