Waking up in the middle of the night can interrupt your sleep for a long time if done incorrectly.
1. Don't go to the toilet
If there is no urgent need to go to the toilet, then it is better not to go. It will be much more difficult to fall asleep after you have already got up and walked. You need to stay in bed in order not to speed up your heart rate, so you shouldn't even sit down. To fall asleep again, you need to slow down your heart rate, which will take longer if you get out of bed.
2. Don't look at the time
It's hard to do, but you need to try not to check your watch, otherwise your brain will immediately activate. And, of course, don't check your phone, don't read notifications, or you risk not falling asleep anymore.3. Don't count the hours until you get up
The more you worry about not falling asleep, not getting enough sleep, and your day going down the drain, the more likely it will be. It is necessary to turn off thoughts as much as possible, breathe slowly and deeply, one by one relax your arms, legs, neck, jaw, face - and then you will fall asleep faster.
