The cycle by which all of our bodies operate on a rest level is called the circadian rhythm and its based on the 24 hour day we all enjoy. It is fairly temperamental and can be thrown out of whack pretty easily. When it is our bodies are not able to get the full amount of rest they need in order to perform at the top level. Things like naps, exercise, or even our exposure to light can throw it off.

Our aging process is something we cannot avoid and is something that can play a major role in the way we sleep. When your body gets to its early 40’s it becomes a little more sleeping fragile, or in other words you will feel more inclined to get up in the middle of the night and it will be harder for you to get the rest you need. All by themselves it is annoying to have to get up every few hours but the prevention it causes for your brain to fully turn down is what really causes the issues.

Many psychological stressors also play a part in whether or not we get good nights sleep. Anything from job stress to deadlines to exams at school can keep the mind active far beyond the normal down time it should be at night. In addition to making it harder to fall asleep these stressors can make it easier for us to be disturbed at night again preventing the deep sleep from setting in. Purchasing something like a memory foam mattress pad can help to make you feel more relaxed initially and help turn the brain off.

Recreational or social drugs can have a huge impact on the way your sleep at night. Chances are there are more drugs that fit this category than you might think. Caffeine for example can stay in your system for up to 14 hours after consumption. Meaning a late morning cup of coffee can prevent your mind from fully turning down when it is time to go to bed. The caffeine will also make it easier for you to be woken up during the night.

Alcohol is thought to help you get to sleep faster in the short term, and that is typically true. Unfortunately once the alcohol passes through the system it can cause you to be more easily disturbed later on. Usually the alcohol will affect you for 3 to 4 hours after consumption.
