I am going on almost 8 months of the same routine. I wake up every single night at 3am. Doesn't matter what time I went to bed and doesn't matter if I have taken any medications. I have tried a few things and I still wake up but the medications just make me feel like I am drunk. I am up for at least an hour than I can fall back asleep. I wake up at 5am on the weekdays and 7am on the weekends. Sometimes when I wake up at 3 am my body is throbbing (stomach inflamed heart in tachycadria) and my nerves are inflamed or sometimes it was like last night when my stomach and heart felt like they were in equilibrium and my nerves were settled down yet I am sitting there more wide awake then I am now.
I have learned that cortisol is the lowest at 1-4am. So if my cortisol has dropped and soemthing flares up, what can I do to counter this because nothing I have tried in the last 8 months has worked. Thanks.
