Awaken a Few Hours After Falling Asleep, Hard to Get back to Sleep

This is a classic symptom of low blood sugar. At night the blood sugar begins to drop, especially at around 1:00 AM in the morning. If this is you, you need to have your blood sugar regulation assesses for hypoglycemia. A diet diary will also indicate the kind of meal they eat at night. Sometimes a little juice or snack right before going to bed can help with the low blood sugar. This is, or course, only a temporary solution. Blood sugar regulation needs to be assessed and you need to start on a protocol that will help address this issue.
