Sleeping well but waking up once a night…

[Sumblime81]

Anyone else going through this on Reta? Seems like no matter how tired I am, I’m always waking up once per night. I don’t have any issues getting back to sleep, yet it’s still kind of annoying.

Looking for some solutions. I kinda like sleeping throughout the night.

Thank you

Only once? You're lucky. I wake up at midnight, 1 or 2 and can't go back to sleep for shit. I end up getting out of bed at 4-4:30 every damn morning. This started on the last few doses of 6mg and now at 8mg, it's terrible.

I was waking up a couple times per night, but after a few weeks its mostly resolved.

I’ve heard that, but I’m on my third month. It used to be worse in the beginning. It has tapered off considerably, but it’s still once a night. It’s not the worst thing in the world and definitely worth it.

Truth is I usually got up once a night before to use the bathroom, so that's kinda normal for me.

Yeah, there’s that too, the whole 4:30 thing. I can’t sleep past then. Even if I stay up late, I can’t. Makes the rest of the day kinda suck.

I sure does, doesn't matter how late I stay up, and am usually so tired I can't. Some afternoons I need to sleep some, and I hate napping. At least I know what's on the TV at 4:30, and get caught up on the 3 forums I on, and my TG groups. This is the only one with this GLP-1 subject.

Once a night? Youngsters. I got up three times a night before Reta and I still get up 3 times a night 10 weeks into Reta. The difference is that before Reta,I could fall back asleep in a couple minutes after the walk to the toilet. Now it takes me 30m to an hour every.time. Oh and my deep sleep got trashed.

Still looking for new things to try. I've tried almost everything suggested here so far except ashwaganda and epithalon. Glycine, melatonin, and magnesium seem to help. Nothing else for me.

I’m wondering if anyone has used Tesa or hgh and that helped out. If so, I’d like to give that a go. I just want to sleep well again. I also have sleep apnea but that has gotten better since losing weight, but it might still be the issue. I have an appointment this week for the sleep apnea. Hopefully, it helps.

Youngsters.

Youngster, hahahahaha.

Yeah, I’m definitely not “young”.😂🤣 I would t say I was old either, though….

I'm not anywhere close to being young anymore. Oh well, I feel good.

Yeah, I’ll be 45 next month. No one calls me young unless they’re 60+

I have two kids within 2 years of your age, so you're young. 🤣

The majority of posters on this thread probably qualify. Definite youngster from my perspective.🙂

Look up DORA classification of sleep meds. Game changer. Finally fixed my chronic sleep hell.

Would be easier if you said "M/F" ; over or under 50...

Do you just wake up, or do you wake up to go to the bathroom? Do you live in an urban or rural area? Have there been any changes in your environment, such as a new road or a data center?

Have you checked your blood sugar recently? Your prostate? (hence the m/f?)

There are many ridiculous beliefs that lead many people to take drugs to help them sleep. Waking up during the night isn't necessarily a sign of a health issue, quite the contrary.

It is important to remember that in the preindustrial era, when there was little artificial lighting, the norm was a two or three phase sleep pattern. People spoke of a “second sleep.” There were social activities in the middle of the night. Artisans were working. Some renowned authors and scholars of the Middle Ages and the Enlightenment wrote in the middle of the night and have testified to this.

So, you may very well have had a good sleep in the first part of the night, and your body had gotten enough at that point.
A little reading, doing the accounts, polishing your shoes, batch cooking, stargazing… a small, pleasant or boring activity, and then you go back to bed for one or two sleep cycles.
Add a 10 to 20 minute nap after lunch, and you’ll be in top form.
