Hi can anyone tell me why I wake up between 4-5am with adrenelin. I am really tired so wouldnt the brain let me sleep to improve my recovery rather then let the adrenelin attack wake me up. I know it is to do with anxiety but sooo tired. Not on medication of any sort

Thanks kim and arwen
It is just so ilogical - body is supposed to look out for you and recover but whilst I can deal with the anxiety attack by getting out either to the park or gym to burn off feelings and breathing techniques I just need to stop the waking up bit. I visited dr last week who has put me to a counsellor. Im 58 and following my husbands death five years ago after coming out of depression I have been fine but now daughter left and its abandoment issues that have reared the ugly heads. Also why am I ok later afternoon as thought this feeling was never there and I feel like my normal self with positive attitudes. Lots of questions but if you can anser them I would be grateful

The most important thing you can do before going to bed is to find a way to completely relax. Progressive muscle relaxation, Meditation, Mindfulness and Self Hypnosis can all help. If you go to bed very stressed you are much more likely to wake up full of adrenaline. If you practice good sleep hygiene - exercise if possible, dont eat or drink within 3 hours of bedtime, relax completely (Using the above methods) and finally thank god or the universe for your life being so full of wonderful things you are much more likely to sleep well. (A positive attitude of gratitude can help you sleep better) I hope some of this helps. If I can help anyone to sleep better I will - message me privately.

So maybe instead of saying I know you might want to say I think my anxiety is causing me to wake up but then go to the doctor and get your thyroid checked and a few of the other physical things that can cause people to wake. remember adrenaline is just one of the very many hormones you have floating around your body right now so it's good to have all the hormones checked and then when it comes out ok blood tests r fine .... Then just work on accepting the unacceptable for the time being

I always wake at 4.00 a.m. I there for 30 mins and then go and make a cup of tea. The tea always helps and I can go back to sleep until 6.30 a.m. The thing you could try is Rescue Remedy, I have the spray and do a couple of squirts which helps to calm me down but I understand it is available in all sorts of forms now.
If this continues though I do think it would be wise to seek medical help.
