Waking Up Between 3-5 AM May Signal a Message from Your Brain

Waking up between 3-5 AM is often a sign from your body indicating stress, circadian misalignment, or sleep debt. These early awakenings are linked to natural hormonal cycles and REM sleep phases, and understanding them can help improve sleep quality by aligning routines with your biological clock, managing stress, and optimizing light exposure. Embracing your chronotype and listening to your body's signals can lead to better sleep health.
