Some People Wake Up At Certain Fixed Times At Night    

The Cause Might Be Acid Reflux, Sleep Apnea, Or Chronic Pain, Along With Sleep Cycles    

Most people believe that sleep is an uninterrupted process, but the truth is that they wake up several times a night. However, these awakenings are so brief that the person doesn't remember, because the brain assigns them amnesic characteristics in order to avoid sleep interruptions. These can last even a few minutes, and occur when the body shifts position in to avoid waking up stiff and with poor muscle tone and can also happen when the brain transits from the sleep cycle to another. However, there are cases in which these interruptions are not amnesic, and the person wakes up, and sometimes the awakening is always at a certain hour of the night. Among the causes are anxiety, in which the brain is still on a state of high alert, medical conditions, such as acid reflux or sleep apnea, and chronic pain. The cause of the awakening at a certain time is usually due to the sleep cycles, which always occur at certain predefined times. When the sleep cycle is in light sleep (as opposed to deep sleep), the body can wake up very easily, due to sleep apnea, pain sensitivity, or acid reflux, which might be the reason why people wake up at certain times.
