Kari, Do you turn on the sleep hypnosis when you wake in the night? I can fall asleep, but not stay asleep.

Hey Colleen, if you try the sleep hypnosis from your phone make sure that you dim the brightness before you go to bed, the burst of bright light when you turn it on often stimulates the senses into thinking it is morning

I have the same issue: I can fall asleep but not stay asleep. I function pretty well during the day though. When I don't get the amount of sleep I need, I have a harder time getting going in the morning. By early afternoon though, I feel normal. After I eat dinner, I turn on the TV to watch the world news (6:30 pm), and then no matter how hard I try not to, I will fall asleep for an hour or so. When I wake up, I feel like I want to continue to sleep because I am groggy and sleepy but I wake myself up because if I continued to sleep (and assuming I'd sleep straight through), I'd end up wide awake and raring to go at 4:00 am! Actually, I've never tried it. Maybe I should! Or maybe it would screw me up even more!
