From 5 a.m. to 7 a.m.
Your large intestine is ridding your body of everything that has passed through your digestive system during the day. Your blood glucose levels are working to become evenly distributed so you can start your day off right. Even your blood pressure numbers are settling into place.
Solution: You may want to spend a few minutes before you go to bed each night relaxing so your body can properly get into alignment.
Alcohol
If you have had trouble sleeping and have come to a point where you have to have a drink in order to get to sleep, you could be in trouble. When you first begin to use alcohol to get to sleep, it works like a charm … but only at first. The alcohol will lull you right into a nice dreamy state of mind, but when your body begins to metabolize it and it burns off, you will wake up and be right back where you started.
Solution: Try something different, like warm milk to get your body relaxed enough to get to sleep. Don’t drink anything that will stimulate your metabolism before going to bed, including coffee, tea, or soft drinks.
You are a creature of habit
If you have a regular routine you probably go to work every day, come home, eat dinner, watch a little TV, go to bed, then get up and do it all over again. Your body has its own internal clock that lets you wake up at the same time every morning. You may find that you oversleep every once in a while, but chances are there were some changes to your regular routine. With this same internal clock, you may wake up one night at 3 a.m. to go to the bathroom, and on your way back to bed, you decide to check your emails on your phone. Don’t be surprised if the next night you wake up at 3 a.m. again.

Solution: Next time you wake up at 3 a.m., don’t do anything except get back into bed and close your eyes. Your chances of getting back to sleep may seem a little difficult, but just keep your eyes closed and before you know it you’ll be waking up in the morning again after successfully breaking that habit.
