Waking up to pee at night doesn’t always mean your Waking up to pee at night doesn’t always mean your bladder woke you up. 🚽

Sometimes you wake up first, notice that you could use the bathroom, and think, “Well, I might as well go.”

If this happens regularly, insomnia or frequent nighttime awakenings may actually be part of the picture.

Of course, nocturia can have medical causes too, so frequent nighttime urination is worth discussing with your doctor.

But if you’re already awake before you notice your bladder, the waking may be the thing to pay attention to.

Have you ever noticed which comes first: waking up or needing to pee?

Had a sex dream about someone you DEFINITELY don’t Had a sex dream about someone you DEFINITELY don’t want to have a sex dream about? 👀

Your coworker. Your friend. The guy you see at the grocery store.

Before you start questioning everything: dream content isn’t a confession.

A sexual, inappropriate or completely out-of-left-field dream doesn’t automatically mean you’re secretly attracted to someone or that your sleeping brain just uncovered a hidden desire.

Dreams can mash together people, emotions, memories, stress and completely random associations. And your dreaming brain is not particularly concerned with whether the storyline is going to make things awkward tomorrow. 😂

So if you wake up thinking, “Well... I’m taking THAT one to the grave.”

You can probably relax.

Have you ever woken up from a dream and thought, “WHERE did my brain get THAT from?!”

Love your partner. Hate sleeping next to them. S Love your partner. Hate sleeping next to them. 

Snoring. Blanket stealing. Temperature wars. Completely different sleep schedules. The alarm that somehow goes off 12 times. 😵‍💫

Enter: the sleep divorce.

Despite the dramatic name, sleeping separately doesn’t mean there’s anything wrong with your relationship. Sometimes better sleep means you actually like each other a whole lot more in the morning.

So tell me: What would be the number one reason for a sleep divorce in your house? 👇

Have you ever wondered if you’re trying to sleep a Have you ever wondered if you’re trying to sleep at the wrong time?

Your circadian rhythm influences when you naturally become sleepy and when it’s easiest to fall asleep.

If you’re getting into bed because you think you should, rather than because you’re actually sleepy, you may end up lying awake and feeling frustrated. And that can create even more pressure around sleep.

Instead of focusing on an earlier bedtime, pay attention to when you naturally start feeling sleepy. A consistent wake time and morning light ☀️ can also help keep your internal clock on track.

And remember: feeling tired isn’t always the same as feeling sleepy. 😴

Do you usually go to bed because you’re sleepy or because the clock says it’s time?

If insomnia or an out-of-sync sleep schedule is becoming a source of stress, we’re currently accepting new clients. Reach out to learn how CBT-i can help.
