This happens to me a lot of nights. Including last night. I always get a startled feeling from all the pain, and I wake up confused about every 2 hours. One thing that I have connected it to is my emotions. If I've spent a great deal of the day sad, mad, or overwhelmed, I have a terrible time trying to sleep. Then I add a night of fretting over no sleep, and by morning I am a mess. I've found something that works most of the time to break that cycle. Take today for instance. I have already decided that I am not going to let myself think negatively today. I am going to give myself permission to be okay with napping as much as I need to. It seems counter intuitive because I don't want to sleep all day and stay awake all night. I try not to be too hard on myself especially after a long night of no real sleep. If I force myself to think positive or even just neutral thoughts, and allow myself to rest as much as my body tells me I need, I am usually able to get a break between the bad nights. I hope you have a good day.
