Waking Up Between 3–5 AM? Here’s Why
Waking during these hours is common and can be caused by:
• Stress: Elevated stress hormones disrupt deep sleep.
• Insomnia: Trouble staying asleep is a key symptom.
• Aging: Older adults experience lighter sleep.• Medications: Some drugs, like antidepressants and diuretics, can interfere with sleep.
• Health Issues: Conditions like sleep apnea, arthritis, or GERD can cause discomfort.
• Lifestyle: Late caffeine, alcohol, screen time, or heavy meals affect sleep quality.
