I am hoping someone can help me with recent sleep problem I have been having.
Looking at some recent sleep logs I cycle between wakefulness and light sleep without falling into deep sleep. This can happen for up to 3 hours before I eventually fall into proper uninterrupted sleep.
This is not a problem of ‘being tired’, it’s as if my mind wakes my body back up. I can actually catch the moment as well where my brain realised I am falling to sleep and stops me from doing so. My heart rate increases and I have to start the process again.
I already do all the basic sleep hygiene stuff, eat well, train six days per week etc so this is not something I have found a way to easily fix. It does not happen every night and has only recently come on. I have had some recent success with a complete caffeine ban. However I would love to know if anyone else has experienced this?
If I could upload a screenshot I would show you what this looks like on my tracker.

This happened again last night where it took 3 hours to fall asleep, after being tired enough to do so from 9.30. This is killing my deep sleep and impacting my performance during the day. Please help if you can!

Good evening, you can drink some soothing herbs that normalize sleep. May help Valerian, Melissa, Mint.
The main thing - not large quantities that do not reduce performance.
