Tips to get back to sleep quickly:
Do not turn on the light or check your phone
Breathe slowly and deeply to calm your mind
If you can’t fall back asleep after 20 minutes, get up and do something quiet (reading, soft music)
Conclusion: a common but manageable phenomenon
Waking up between 3am and 5am is a common phenomenon, often linked to biological rhythm and stress. Rather than worrying about it, it is better to adopt good sleep hygiene and manage your anxiety to limit these nighttime awakenings.
So, the next time you open your eyes at this time, breathe, relax… and fall back to sleep peacefully.
