Wake Up Between Every Night. What I Can Do To Sleep Better?
For the last 2 months, i wake up between 2 - 3 am every night. I eat dinner early, around 6pm and follow a simple schedule. I get in bed between 9 and 9:30pm. Some nights, i get in bed early around 8:30 pm and read to my kids, lights out at 9:30pm for sure. I want to know what i can do to sleep better.

Hi
you are not able to go off to sleep again after getting up at 3 or 2 am it means total sleep time is 4 to 5 hours .It is slightly less
With my patient I would have discussed following
Does he needs more sleep and think sleep is not sufficient snd he has some depreressive symptoms because such a sleep pattern symptom may occour in a psychiatric condition called depression
If he delay in getting to bed makes him get up late
You can use some bed time sleep pills for which get in touch with psychiatrist
Take care
