For the last few months I have been struggling with sleeping through the night. I will go to bed at around 11 pm with relative ease, then wake up every 2 hours or so, until I finally get up at 7. It seems like I have conditioned myself to wake up after every dream sequence. It usually takes me 5-15 mins to fall back asleep, but it is enough to discourage me. I have found it is a lot worse earlier on in the week, and virtually not existant during the weekend(I work M-F 9-5, so clearly I am worried about my performance at work). I have practiced good sleep hygiene (cool room, no clocks, etc), and try not to beat myself up too bad about it when I wake up. I just enjoy sleep so much, and now it is becoming more of a burdon. I know that everyone wakes up after dream sequences, they just don't remember it because they fall right back asleep. Any suggestions on how to stop this habit?
