I've had an odd sleep schedule lately. Wait, not odd...just, lacking. Not sure why I can only sleep 4-5 hours a night right now, but it sure would be nice to figure this out. It's been going on for a few months now.
A look at my sleep schedule:
9pm: Decide bed is close, have protein shake
10pm: Decide it's time for bed
11:30pm: Actually get into bed
12:30am: Actually put book down, turn light off, and drift into a dreamless wonderland
4:30am: Wake up for no apparent reason whatsoever
4:32am: Fall asleep again
5:30am: Alarm goes off, I sort of wake up (unless I figure out how to turn off my alarm in my sleep, which which case I get in late to work)
6:00am: Alarm continues to go off while I repeatedly hit snooze. I turn it off, grab my phone, check the e-mail and read some news (Rick Perry is dropping out of the Republican Presidential Race...I learned this at 6 this morning)
6:20am: Get out of bed and shower.
6:45am: Go to work.
So, I think I spend more time around bed and thinking about being asleep than I actually do asleep. And I'm really irritated that I keep waking up at 4am for no apparent reason (I don't hurt, I don't have to pee, I'm not being woken by a cat...there's really no reason for it).
Alas, such is life. I've mostly adapted to it by this point, but it would be nice if my body decided to sleep longer than 4-5 hours a night. Well, at least I tend to get about 7 hours on the weekend!
Anyways, hope you all are sleeping better than I am!

Sleep apnea? I'm having similar circumstances myself (I always wake at 3am).
Sadly, no, I'm not. But my getting up in the middle of the night is due to a need to pee. I've stopped drinking liquids after 9 which has helped a bit, but yeah, still waking up lots. Afternoon naps are a staple in my house now.
