Waking early - Sleep Disorders Message Board

Can anyone give any advice on my problem. EVERY morning I awake at about 5.00 a.m. and can't get back to sleep. It doesn't matter what time I get too sleep. I must admit the first thing on my mind when I wake up is 'well, what time have Imade it to this morning!' I also wake with a sweat on, on my chest only. I also have nausea, headaches and plapitations. I think that is about it. But is the waking early which is getting me down.

Any known health problems you've been diagnosed with? Waking with sweat, headaches, and palpatations make me think sleep apnea, just from my experience with patients. And with some people, sleep apnea is worse or only existant in stage rem sleep which happens around the time you report that you wake up, 5-6am. But there's no way to know for sure without seeing your doctor. You should go as soon as you can, those aren't good signs.

I've had this sleep problem all my life. It never bothered me. 5 o clock is better than 1 or 2 in the morning. I guess you're just a morning person. Have you talked to a doctor about these problems? How are you feeling during the day when you wake up early? Are you tired the rest of the day? Just go to bed early enough to get a good nights sleep.
