This happens to me almost every night. I would have a really awesome dream, and all of a sudden at 12:50 AM or somewhere around there, I would wake up, and I would stare at the ceiling for like 5 mins, and then I fall asleep, and wake up at the time I am supposed to.

MaijjijalMotart: When I was younger and I actually slept at decent hours, that would happen to me. Somehow imagining the dream while falling asleep started it back up again.

I don't know how it worked, but it just did. Perhaps you should try the same thing.

imamonster : Probably once or twice a week I guess. Not very often. o: But I just go back to sleep, I usually don't have bad dreams so... yeah.

Normally it's near the morning when I randomly wake up.

I don't wake up in the middle of the night very often. If I do, it's usually just once. I roll over, use my inhaler then go back to sleep. Last night I was up 5 or 6 times though. I'm sick right now and my asthma's been really bad, so I keep waking up every hour or so.

all depends on what day it is. if it's a holiday, then i'll wake up every 15 minutes. if not. I'll only wake up about twice (counting when i wake up for the day)

Mega Mewtwo X :  I see, I have that too. It's really annoying, but it has been happening a lot less often luckily. I can relate to twice.

I tend to wake up all the time in the middle of the night.. I suffer from insomnia and it's hard to explain but sometimes when I'm asleep my epilepsy may trigger and it'll make me twitch really badly.. Which usually wakes me up.. 

Unlike mega mewtwo.. If i have something to do the next day i find it physically impossible to try and sleep... Like i could barely be standing but because my minds so excited on doing something tomorrow it won't let me sleep...

The joys of sleepless nights...

Right now this is happening a lot more often but it's because of the heat. It just gets so hot at night that I usually wake up every hour sweating and panting and I have to go and get a glass of water before I can try to get back to sleep. SOmetimes I wake up 3 or 4 times per night.

Usually not too much. I can have some trouble actually falling asleep but when I am asleep I don't wake up often in the middle of the night.
Well at least not that I remember

As a little kid I was a super light sleeper, so I'd end up waking up in the middle of the night all the time. Sometimes it was because I had a bad nightmare, sometimes I woke up for no real reason, sometimes I had to go to the bathroom,  and sometimes I just really wanted a glass of water (Which I would then promptly not drink ever).
I haven't done anything like that in a long time though. Nowadays I always sleep right up until my alarm goes off.

imamonster : Good thread. Sometimes, I wake up in the middle of the night for no reason even if I had School. When I have School, I try to stay awake as soon as possible but I go back to sleep immediately XD. I also wake up in the middle of the night when I was younger to go to the toilet. I also wake up in the middle of the night if I had nightmares and If I had one and woke up later, I say "Whew, just a stupid nightmare."

Not very often. Only time I really do wake up in the middle of the night is if I am laying down and am so close to finally falling asleep. Sometimes, I will wake up and have to go to the bathroom a few hours before I would normally wake up.

Not very often. Usually i only wake up if i suddenly get stricken by a pain (happened quite often when i was younger), or when a noise, especially my dang fridge, wakes me up. I don't think i've randomly woken up in years.

I usually wake-up four or five times during the night, or whenever I sleep until I want to wake-up for the day xD It's not surprising when I try to make sure I get around nine hours of sleep o.o

I would only wake up if I had to use the bathroom which can " only " be one time. It's freaking Legendary for me to have to go twice...

That hasn't happened in years.

I sleep really hard and I hate that.

Ehhh not very often but yeah I do wake up in the middle of the night sometimes!!

I have a dog that likes to scratch herself or lick herself loudly in the morning or late a night.  I have a wife who snores a little bit too loud for my tastes and I have a 6 month old baby.

All of that adds up to a lot of waking up at night.  I wake up and start thinking about all the things I have to accomplish at work.  I start thinking about the forms needed to be done, the people I have to talk to, the problems I have to fix, and the responsibility and that keeps me from falling asleep.

Sometimes I'll drift back and it's easy to fall asleep. Sometimes I'm simply up the rest of the night.

Last night, it was cold in the room, I was warm under the blankets but not hot.  My wife was wedged up against me and the sheets felt soft and the dog was at my finger tips.  It was 2:30 am and I loved it.  I would have saved that moment if I could have and I didn't want to fall back asleep.  It was peaceful, quiet, and perfect.

Those moments make the bad ones worth it.
