I wake up 2-5 times during the night. i don't get good sleep because of this. does anyone else have the same problem and what do you do when you wake up and can't fall back asleep?

I used to get this, I found that getting up and doing something then going back to bed helped me fall back asleep :)

Hi I've started using essential oils such as lavender helps. You can get something called aromaball which you roll onto your pressure points and smells nice I pop it on to relax if I've woken in night. Also try some mindfulness activities to help to go back to sleep. X

You could try taking magnesium about 30 minutes before you go to bed. Cut all sugars and artificial sweeteners and caffeine after 2pm. Put lavender oil on a tissue under your pillow and always make sure you are in bed with the lights out by 10pm. Also Rescue Remedy sleep aid is a great homeopathic remedy that helps with sleep. If you wake up in the night you could try sniffing your lavender tissue and sing a soft relaxing song inside your head or if you are a believer then spend the awake moments of the night praying.
