Last year, I experienced a bout of insomnia that constantly left me wide awake at 3 a.m. and wondering if I'd ever fall back asleep. Whenever I did eventually drift back off, it felt like my alarm would immediately start ringing.
Battling exhaustion and tired of being tired, I decided to call on Dr Bhavini Shah, a GP at LloydsPharmacy Online Doctor, to give me some advice on what to do when I wake up in the middle of the night.
"This is something most of us will be able to relate to at some point, and there are several different ways to try and combat this..." she replied, which immediately made me feel better. Below, I explore the method that's helping me fall back asleep fast whenever I experience nighttime awakenings.
