Hello everyone,

I have been having weird sleeping pattern for a couple of weeks. I am currently not working but have been constantly waking up around 5-6 in the morning regardless of the time I went to bed. I would be wide awake and faced difficulty falling back to sleep and would only be able to do so after tossing left and right for about half an hour then I would eventually wake up around 9am.

Previously when I was still working I would be able to sleep 7-8 hours straight on weekends.

Does anyone have any idea how I can get back to my normal sleeping cycle and sleep 7-8 hours straight? Or should I try not to fall back to sleep and wake up instead?

Thanks in advance!

You're probably right. Gonna try to sleep earlier and wake up naturally tomorrow.
I'm not alone! So do you still wake up around 5am these days?
I do exercise daily though. Yeap, hopefully my sleeping pattern changes back to normal when I get back to work in future!
I'm currently in my late 20s and I faced my laptop most of the time at work. I don't do shift work so it really bothers me that my sleeping pattern is kind of messed up now.
