Hi There, You roll over, check your phone… and it's 3:14 a.m. again. Weird coincidence? Maybe not. Waking up at the same time every night is surprisingly common and often tied to your internal clock, hormone fluctuations, or even subtle sleep disruptions that happen like clockwork. How do you change it? Understand the cause of your middle-of-the-night wakings. Once you know what's triggering your wakeups, you can start falling back asleep faster (and staying asleep longer).

Break the Cycle of Middle-of-the-Night Wakeups Your sleep might be getting interrupted by something your doctor rarely asks about. It's called nocturia, and it's one of the most common (and overlooked) causes of nighttime wakeups. While it's often dismissed as a normal part of aging, nocturia can seriously affect sleep quality and energy levels. Causes range from fluid intake and medications to underlying health issues or poor sleep habits. The key is knowing why it's happening and how to manage it. A few targeted changes could help you stay asleep longer and stay out of the bathroom. How to Quiet Your Bladder (and Your Night) Even if you don't feel heartburn, acid reflux might still be disrupting your sleep, especially if you wake up coughing, with a dry throat, or feeling uncomfortable. Silent reflux can flare up at night when you're lying down, and over time, it can fragment your sleep without you even realizing it. The fix? A few small tweaks to your habits (and bedtime snacks) can go a long way. Could What You Ate at Dinner Be Waking You Up?
