11:00, 11:30, 12:30, 2:00, "If I can fall asleep in the next 20 minutes I still can get 4 hours of sleep." 3:00, 3:30 and then you fall asleep with only a couple of hours before you have to get up.

Does anybody else have nights like this on occasion?

It sucks!!!!

I suspect we all do at times

sometimes sleep comes if you dont try too hard or worry about it

Everynight is like that for me. I go to bed about 3 or 4 in the morning and have to get up at 6:30. I dont sleep good and then stay up till about 3 or 4 in the morning again and I always tell myself okay tonight will be different and I will go to bed at 10:00pm and it never happens. I am so sleepy all the time I some times sound drunk when I talk. The only thing is that everyone I talk to they want to give me sleep aids and I dont want to take them because you can get hooked on them but I have to say I did try a half of one and I slept for about 12 hours not getting up once and then the next day I was even more sleepy. So I dont know what to say but good luck and I hope there is something out there that will work. They say it is more than likely STRESS.. lol who doesn't have stress in they lives.lol

I always have nights like that. I usually get about 5 hours of sleep each night if I'm lucky. I can't sleep to well tonight for some reason. I only had 3 hours of sleep last night. Went to bed at 4:30 and my mom woke me up at 7. I always have nights where I have alot of trouble falling asleep and I just lay there hoping I'll fall asleep fast. My mom usually doesn't fall asleep till after midnight and she still doesn't get enough sleep. I think everyone has nights like that. It gets very annoying for me when I'm so sleepy and I lay down and sleep and wake up an hour after that.
It's real big pain in the butt

Guys and Girls;

I had very similar problems, and I take heavy duty relaxers for periodic limb movement. My sleep doc asked me to ignore the clock. She said unplug it if you can, if you need the alarm (which I do for work) then turn it around so you can't see it from bed. She said it would be a little odd at first, and you immediately dismiss it as stupid, but it will work. She said that we get into cycles of waking and sleeping, and taking the clock out of the situation will help to break the cycle.

Sure enough, within a week I was waking up less during the night, and even then only to use the restroom or get some water. I now sleep with my clock turned towards the wall every night.
