If you're regularly waking around 3 (as opposed to random times throughout the night) you might want to reconsider cortisol as a possibility, at least as setting a baseline wakefulness that allows you to be easily woken up from a noise. There is a natural cortisol spike at that time, and that combined with elevated levels from background stress causes the same problem for many people who fall asleep without issues, myself included.
- showmypost 5mo agoThe 3am part was just a random picked time. But interesting to know, thanks for sharing! I had some stress related sleeping issues about a year ago, that’s why I started with proactively provoking morning cortisol spikes and preventing them in the evenings which definitely helped. At that time I went through some personal challenges, so it made sense
- tpolm 5mo agoSecond this Have the same pattern, issue is cortisol/stress, not sounds / etc that happen precisely at night Built simular things tonwhat Op did (thoug using Oura for sleep tracking, not Garmin) Result: no statistically significant variations in sounds, CO2 normal etc. Cortisol is what doctors/AI told me first
- thr0w 5mo agoYeah, if you continuously wake up around 3am you are anxious/stressed/depressed. Whole article is overthought/engineering mindset nonsense.
