Cause you often wake up at Midnight

     Quality sleep is when people were asleep at night for 6 to 8 hours to get up in the morning .
But there are some people who suddenly woke up in the middle of the night or early morning , and it can interfere with normal daily sleep cycle that causes lack of sleep and the body limp .

     According to the Clinical Director of the Behavioral Sleep Medicine Program at the University of Pennsylvania James Findley , Ph.D , if you woke up just because change sleeping position and then fell asleep again , it does not matter .

     But if awakened every 30 minutes or so, something is wrong with your physical condition or environment. This is some of the causes and how to overcome them, as quoted from the Huffington Post.

1. Sleep Disorders

     There are several sleep disorder that makes people often wake up at night. People with insomnia for example, is not only difficult to fall asleep, but also tend to wake up several times at night.

     Other sleep disorders are sleep apnea, namely respiratory disorder that occurs during sleep, which lasted for more than 10 seconds. Characterized by narrowing of the airways more than 80% for more than 10 seconds and decreased oxygen saturation (a measure of the amount of oxygen carried or dissolved in certain media) more than 3%. "For people with sleep apnea, may not be aware of it unless there is someone to sleep next to you who tell if you often stop breathing during sleep," said James.

2. Physical Condition

     Sometimes the condition of the body that is 'not normal' can make you always woke up in the middle of the night or early morning. Digestive problems can wake you up at night if you eat too much before bed. Some psychiatric problems such as excessive anxiety or bipolar disorder is also known to be the cause of someone easily awakened on the sidelines of his.

     Prostate enlargement in men can also make him awake at night because of the frequency of urination. Some medical treatments, such as medications for high blood pressure or type of medicine is a diuretic (increases urination) could also interfere hours of sleep at night.

3. Environmental Factors

     Environmental conditions greatly affect the well / absence of your sleep. Bias light entering from outside the house to the room can make you wake up unknowingly. "Sometimes the light through the bedroom window blinds can be a problem. So should you use curtains made from thick to handle it, "said James.

     So is the light that penetrates through the crack under the door of the room, or from an alarm clock and LCD screen smartphone / tablet. Turn off all electronic devices before bed, or place the items that could potentially cause the light away from the bed.
The sound of a motor vehicle or activities of people in the middle of the night also can interrupt sleep. If the slightest noises can make you wake up, you should install carpet silencers or instrumental music that could disguise annoying noise from outside.

Tips to overcome them:

     Do a healthy habit to get good quality sleep at night. Avoid eating too much or heavy ahead of bedtime. For people who have trouble sleeping, try not to nap too long because it can disrupt sleep cycles should be. But if at night you sleep deprivation while the eyes must remain awake during the day (for driving), James suggested to nap a maximum of 45 minutes. Longer than that, you will have trouble sleeping after sunset.

    Avoid drinking alcohol. According to research published in the journal Alcoholism: Clinical & Experimental Research, alcohol can disrupt normal sleep rhythms.

    Drinking alcohol such as wine, beer or champagne can make people unconscious and sleeping soundly. But reducing the time in REM sleep (rapid eye movement, sleep yet -in eyes closed- state is still moving and active brain) so that you will wake up in a state of weakness and headache.
