I reviewed my food diary and noticed that I often ate sugary snacks shortly before bedtime. On those evenings, I sometimes woke feeling hungry or unusually alert. I decided to eat balanced dinners, avoid late caffeine, and keep my bedtime consistent. I also adjusted the thermostat schedule to prevent unnecessary nighttime temperature changes.
For several nights, things improved. Then, unexpectedly, I woke at three again. This time, however, I didn’t panic or immediately check the clock. I simply noticed my surroundings. My bedroom was quiet, comfortable, and dark. Perhaps the biggest problem wasn’t the awakening itself, but what I had taught myself to fear.
