To wake up during the night happens to most of us, and we can all agree it can be frustrating.
However, when this happens, doctors warn that we should avoid doing one thing that prevents us from falling back asleep.
Dr. Biquan Luo, CEO of LumosTech, spoke of this issue with The New York Times, and shared a tip for those who tend waking up in the middle of the night.
“Checking the time can increase stress and make it harder to sleep. Additionally, if you check the time on your phone, the contents of the phone may be too stimulating, which further prevents you from relaxing and falling asleep,” Dr. Luo said.
