Many people hate the alarm every morning, while others wish they had not been awake while the alarm went off. Waking up minutes or even hours before the alarm is not something new, some sleep experts told CNN, but it can cause people constant anxiety.
Stress factors have worsened sleep. So what can you do to not wake up to the alarm?
Do not look at your watch or phone
If you wake up suddenly early in the morning, do not check the clock. Seeing it's 3 in the morning when you set the alarm at 7 o'clock can add to the stress. When cortisol levels rise, the body becomes alert. This process is complicating sleep because the brain becomes hyper-engaged.
Get out of bed
So while it may seem strange, experts say it's good advice to get out of bed. Yes, even at 3 o'clock in the morning. Give up the idea of ??falling asleep again. When you do this, remove the pressure and you are more likely to fall asleep again. Anything, reading a book, listening to low-volume music (but not using the phone), can positively distract the brain. Once you start falling asleep, go back to bed.
Examine what works and what does not
If any environmental factors change - such as travel, working hours or lighting - the body's circadian rhythm may change, signaling an unpleasant early awakening before the alarm. In this case, you can take measures such as setting up a sleeping treadmill, changing the lighting of the room, etc.
