According to a Direct Line Group study from 2022, over 70% of UK adults don’t get the recommended 7-9 hours of sleep per night. Nighttime micro-awakenings are a common contributing problem.
For many of us, they happen four to six times per night without us even noticing. And they usually just mark the end of a sleep cycle. But they’re more common in some people, and can be down to various factors like anxiety, mental hyperactivity, asthma, acid reflux, or arthritis. The effects of caffeine, tea, alcohol, and tobacco should also be considered. And it’s important to know that as you age, your production of sleep hormone melatonin decreases.
How are our sleep cycles structured? What should I do if these micro-awakenings become too frequent? What if those techniques don’t work for me? In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions!
