Sleeping well but waking up once a night...

[apricot-stroller21]

Anyone else dealing with this on reta? No matter how exhausted I am, I always wake up once during the night. Falling back asleep isn't an issue, just annoying regardless. Looking for solutions here, would really like to sleep straight through. Thanks.

Run magnesium glycinate paired with theanine as my sleep supplements, they get me through the night. Without both together I wake up repeatedly.

Dealt with the exact same thing early on, started taking magnesium roughly sixty minutes ahead of sleep and it made a real difference. Still get up once or twice a night, but usually just for the bathroom or to switch positions.

I take something to help me sleep on shot days, the insomnia gets pretty rough without it. Also tend to wake up more through the night, fully alert, but just push myself to stay still and rest. Usually drift back off within the hour.

Sleep. Reta genuinely can disrupt it. Start putting effort into good sleep habits now before it becomes an issue. About three months into reta myself and I've finally landed on a routine that gets me sleeping well. All that extra fluid, protein, and fiber intake can have you getting up once or twice overnight for the bathroom too.

Seems like your approach is already on the right track. Just be sure resistance training's part of the mix too. Signaling to your body that those muscles are actively being used and needed helps a lot with holding onto them.

Do you take reta morning or night? I woke around two hours after I lay down (maybe 3-4 hours following my 1mg reta dose) and could not fall back asleep for hours. Unusual for me to wake without cause.
