Andrew Huberman | A Simple Solution for Quickly Returning to Sleep at Night @hubermanlab | Uploaded April 2024 | Updated October 2024, 2 hours ago.
Dr. Matthew Walker explains one of the common issues people face: waking up in the middle of the night. That itself is not so much a problem if it just happens once per night, but often, people have difficulty falling back asleep, which then sets in motion anxiety about sleep, sleep deprivation, and, in turn, the negative effects of sleep deprivation.
Something as simple as looking at the time can create a cascade of issues, leading to more sleep challenges.
The takeaway: If you have trouble waking up in the middle of the night and difficulty falling back asleep afterward, consider removing all clock faces, electronic or otherwise, from the bedroom.
