waking early

[jv50plus]

I keep waking up at 5.30am! It all started during first lockdown, when I was stressed about work stuff. I am NOT stressed now, but still waking and unable to go back to sleep.

Is this connected to your IBS? Any pain or anything or just waking? If you want to shift your sleep pattern, you could try making yourself stay up later at night (even as late as 1am) plus avoid any napping during the day.

No absolutely no connection! perhaps you could forward this to your wellbeing part?

I am not sure what you mean by "perhaps you could forward this to your wellbeing part?"

Should I have sent this question to the Well being section?

I am not an administrator and I don't work for the IBS Network team so I am unable to forward posts to other groups on Healthunlocked. I am a punter/user of Healthunlocked like you. Your question has appeared as a post under the IBS Network group. Punters/users like me (and you) can respond to people's questions. Members of the IBS Network community (who are lay people) support each other on this forum. If your question isn't IBS related, you may wish to join a different group on Healthunlocked to pose this specific question.
