American sleep specialist Michael Bruce shared a list of what not to do when you wake up in the middle of the night.

According to the somnologist, there is no need to get up and look at what time it is - two mistakes are allowed here at once. First, you should not move at all, as your heart rate will rise sharply, which is very low during sleep.. It's bad for your heart if you often wake up before your alarm.. Second, you don't need to know what time it is..

If you have an idea about time, then you start to think. It is thoughts and the process of reflection that does not allow you to fall asleep even in the evening, not to mention midnight rises..

What the expert advises to do is to try to discard all anxieties, free your head from unnecessary things - a relaxed state causes drowsiness.
