Have you ever woken up at 3 am, and just stared at the ceiling? Or perhaps, closed your eyes and let the thoughts race for a solid hour or so, until you finally drifted back to a deep sleep, only to wake up later than normal and WAY more tired than usual? Well, as counterintuitive as it may seem, trying to fall back asleep after only 4 or 5 hours of sleep may not be the best. This is because, once you are wide awake, your body will start the sleep process all over again.
