You Experience “Mini-Wake-Ups” Without Realizing It
Most people don’t know they wake up several times per night, even during normal, healthy sleep.
- These brief awakenings last only a few seconds and occur as your brain switches between sleep stages.
- They’re usually so short you don’t remember them, but they serve an important purpose: checking your environment for safety, a trait inherited from our hunter-gatherer ancestors.
⚡ If you’re feeling unrested, these micro-awakenings may be becoming longer and more disruptive.
