You think it’s not a big deal to get up once or twice? The reality is, every time you wake up, you violently interrupt your sleep cycle. It’s a bit like cutting a movie every ten minutes: hard to keep up, right?
By disrupting your REM sleep:
You wake up more tired ,
You are less focused and more irritable,
You impair your ability to memorize.
And this circle can take place without you really being aware of it.
Simple steps to get more continuous sleep
Good news: there’s no need to turn everything upside down. Small adjustments to your daily routine can really make a difference.
Adopt a regular sleep pattern
Try to go to bed and get up at regular times, even on weekends. This naturally regulates ADH production.
Create a calming ritual
A warm bath, some soft music or a few slow breaths… Treat yourself to a quiet moment before going to bed.
Bet on moderation
Reduce water consumption 1 to 2 hours before bedtime,
Eat a light dinner , at least two hours before going to bed,
Avoid coffee and alcohol after 4 p.m.
Take care of your bedroom environment
A cool, quiet room, without screens or blue light (no TV or phone), is the basis for restful sleep .
One last piece of advice: listen to your body.
Getting up from time to time is nothing to worry about. But if it becomes routine, it may be time to rethink your lifestyle … or address underlying stress. And if, despite everything, nighttime waking persists, don’t hesitate to consult a healthcare professional.
To sleep without stopping is to rediscover the continuation of a dream that we had left hanging: restful, beneficial and essential.
