My problem with sleeping

Anytime I am woken up at night however briefly, I usually find it difficult to go back to sleep. Kindly let me know how to handle this.

If a disturbing sound is coming through your window from outside, try shutting your window to block it out. Using earplugs, turning on a fan, or listening to white noise can also help you drown out disturbing sounds. If you haven’t fallen asleep in 15 minutes, try moving into a different room and doing something relaxing to distract your mind for a few minutes may make it easier to fall back asleep when you return. Staring at the clock may make you feel anxious about not sleeping.

You might even consider getting rid of your alarm clock. People who deal with anxiety often worry about falling asleep, and people who have trouble falling asleep often feel anxious.

Turn off all your devices. Noise emitted by notifications may awaken you. Screens from smartphones and other electronics emit blue light that Melatonin.

Performing breathing exercises or meditating may help treat some aspects of sleep disturbance and improve sleep quality.
