Ho To Back To Sleep In Midnight : We all have woken up at 3 o’clock in the night at one time or another. The Internet often makes it look mysterious or scary, but there is a simple scientific reason for it. A board-certified sleep specialist recently took to Instagram to explain why so many people wake up in the middle of the night. A lot of it has to do with our stress levels, and doctors have also suggested easy tips to get back to sleep. Why do you wake up in the middle of the night? Dr. Christopher J. Allen told in his Instagram post that in the middle of the night, between 2 and 4 am, a hormone ‘cortisol’ is released in our body. It prepares our body for the morning, gradually turning on the systems. In some people this happens gradually and they do not wake up at night.

But in those who are under more stress, cortisol suddenly increases rapidly. When you wake up, your brain starts working faster, the arousal system of the brain becomes active, and you become completely alert. According to Healthline, stress can trigger your sympathetic nervous system, causing you to wake up suddenly at night. Follow these tips to get back to sleep quickly…

Don’t look at your phone. If you pick up the phone, it’s easy to get lost in the scrolling and not realize when the night has passed. Put the phone away and give yourself a chance to sleep.

Keep the lights off. Keeping the lights off helps the body relax, whereas bright lights strain the eyes and make it difficult to fall asleep again.

Breathing exercise. Dr. Christopher suggests a simple breathing trick: Breathe in slowly for four counts, then exhale for six counts. It helps to calm the mind and get back to sleep.

Relaxing music. Healthline says that relaxing music helps calm the mind. According to research by PubMed Central, the best music for sleeping depends on your preference, that is, whatever makes you feel relaxed will work for you.
