I'm currently having an issue where I get to sleep on time but keep waking up 1-2 sleep cycles too early. Any ideas why? Help.

  I’ve been having this problem too. It’s the worst. Going to bed at 10 and waking up at 3 when your alarm is set for 6; exhausted but weirdly alert too. Then feeling like a zombie all day, collapsing into bed, and doing it all over again.

    Do you think it's sleep apnoea? Or poor sleep hygiene?

      I’m waking between cycles, not because of apnea; and apnea shouldn’t prevent getting back to sleep afaik - it just prevents deep sleep and leaves you less rested. I think my sleep hygiene’s been ok. The one cause that seems most likely to me is a decrease in exercise (due to an injury).
