    I went to sleep at like 7 but then woke up at 10:30 and couldn’t get back to sleep. Took some melatonin, hopefully it kicks in soon.

    I don’t get physically home sick, but when I’m away from home I always find it difficult to sleep. This is also the first time I’ve been at a hotel on my own as well, which adds to it

      I’ve read that people did this for centuries: went to bed early, woke up for a few hours around midnight and then had a second sleep to the morning.

      I don’t know whether that’s really true, but it certainly matches my personal experience. If I go to sleep early and I’m not completely exhausted, I’ll wake up around 11 and be awake for the next 2-3 hours. I am usually up past midnight so this doesn’t often come up.

          Thankyou! I always thought there was something wrong with my sleep pattern. I get tired early, go to bed, sleep until around midnight, wake up for at least an hour (more commonly 2-3) and then go back to sleep and wake up by 7am. I didn’t realise that was normal and ok! This is a revelation to me!

        Me too. But even if I am exhausted I still wake up for an hour or so (more commonly 2-3 hours).
