i do it all the time. may be its age? i get up at least three times a night if i manage to get to sleep!

You too, eh.

Same here, I wonder if it is an age thing, because it never happened until I got to about 65.

I listen to the BBC World Service and Talksport to relieve the boredom.

Thanks Mom and Flip.

So what do we do, join up and have a party?..LOL

I have been doing that as well, I was told that 3:00 is the witching hour...lol.

" Count me in ! (3:00 a.m.) just about every night. " I mean what's with that ? "

So.... That's what's causing it!  I wake up at 3:00am too & 1:00am & 11:00pm & 4:30am (not necessarily in that order LOL). I always thought it was my bladder waking me up!

My sleeping patterns are all out of sinc - you probably would not have noticed - but regardles of which time I go to bed I wake up two hours later. I take a sleeping tab plus pain relief at the moment given to me for my pain but makes no difference and so I am all doped up.. This is generally an age thing - so I've heard from so many elderly people. I also heard that every hour slept before midnight is worth two hours?

Would you believe since I've been retired I have gone shopping to the 24hr Store after midnight when the weather has been good  - not to be recomended especially where I live - but the store is quiet and it takes less time. 

I can't believe all these posts!!!!  I have the same problem, only mine comes and goes.  For a number of months, I sleep quite well, and then I start the "3 am wake up thing" again.  I watch something boring on tv but usually, I don't get back to sleep until 6-7 am.  It will go on for months and it's annoying, isn't it?  I'm so tired throughout the day and have to push myself to get things done.

Its great to know I"M not the only one, I do 24hour, rotating shiftwork, so absolutely have no sleeping pattern, I rely heavily on sleeping medication and rotate the pills so I don't get used to the same ones, but at best I get about 3 hours at a time even when I take them, sometimes only get 8 hours between shifts, and with a 2 hour return drive I often don't get much sleep at all, I feel exhausted, but figure I can choose to be tired and have a good day, or I can still be tired and choose to have a bad one.

I hope you take care while driving. Lack of sleep combined with sleeping pills does not sound good. I know that shift work is very tough.

Are you over wound ? Too tensed?

So on Saturday when the time changes will you sleep til 4 AM ? I'm just kidding I stay awake most of the night too  Maybe I dream I'm awake?

What if we're all dreaming right now?
