Waking at night as you get older

Sleep changes with age in ways that are normal and in ways that are not, and telling the two apart is genuinely hard from the inside. It is also the subject where people try the most things and compare notes the least.

The kind of thing that belongs here

  • Waking at three and not getting back to sleep.
  • Has anyone here actually been assessed for sleep apnoea?
  • Whether the tracking devices helped or just added worry.
  • Sleep after a change in hormones.

What does not belong here is anybody telling anybody else what to take. Nothing posted in a forum is medical advice, and a conversation is not a substitute for being assessed.
