You’re supposed to wake up a tiny bit every 2 hours every night (4x if you’re getting 8hrs!). There’s various States of consciousness that are SUPPOSED to occur over a 2hr sleep cycle every time you sleep and one of them is a slightly lucid state where a healthy body shifts position to avoid pressure ulcers!
So if you find yourself waking up at night just use the minimum an amount of consciousness you can to think about which position you’re in and pick one of the other flat positions in this picture to put yourself in. Then will yourself back to sleep as well as you can.
So. Fun educational fact about sleep hygiene!
