The doctor explained why sudden awakenings in the middle of the night

Nighttime awakenings may be associated with natural hormonal changes in the body. Amir Khan, a general practitioner, explained why a person often wakes up in the middle of the night and then cannot sleep for a long time. The Daily Mirror reports.

According to the expert, studies indicate 3:29 as the average time of night awakening. In the early hours, the body gradually prepares for the new day, including increasing the production of cortisol.

With increased anxiety, stress and lack of sleep, hormonal changes can provoke a sudden awakening, sometimes accompanied by a rapid heartbeat. In women during menopause, oestrogen fluctuations become an additional factor.

The doctor stressed that short-term sleep disorders do not always indicate health problems. To get to sleep faster, he recommends not checking time, giving up the phone and focusing on calm breathing and relaxation.

Scientists have found an effective way to improve sleep quality.

There are two simple and effective ways to get things done.
