  • The Vicious Cycle: You wake up, start worrying about being tired, which creates more anxiety, making it impossible to fall back asleep.

  • 2. Sleep Cycle Misalignment

    You naturally transition between light and deep sleep throughout the night. The early morning hours are dominated by lighter sleep (REM sleep).

    • Why it happens: Any slight disturbance—a noise, a change in temperature, or a full bladder—is enough to wake you during this light sleep phase.

    3. Lifestyle Habits

    Your daily choices have a direct impact on your sleep quality.
