What if you wake up in the middle of the night? I can go to bed consistently and easily - the problem is I'll wake up at 2am and not be able to go back to sleep. Sleep hygiene doesn't solve it for me.

It's hard to find out what causes not sleeping throughout the night. Personally I had to: - Cut out food and drink 6 hours before bedtime (even limiting water). This minimized my body waking me up for many digestive/expulsion issues. Now 3 hours before bedtime is enough. - Read novels with vocalization in your head that aren't too exciting one hour before bedtime. The reading slowed my thinking and minimized waking up with racing thoughts. I now need 15-30 minutes of reading to fall asleep. - Took 2 months of applying this daily before I could sleep through the night.

Good luck finding out what helps you!
