Sleepig tracker helpful. While I have been waking overnight on a chronic basic, those 2AM awakenings have all had their element of drowsiness inviting a return to sleep. Not so last night. This time at just before 2AM I recall abrupt awakening following a dream. No drowsiness at all. It felt like the night was done and I needed to dive into whatever the day would bring. I stayed in bed, still fully alert for more than an hour, then just got up, though not quite ready for morning hygiene and a new day. My mind fully functioned.
To my laptop whose blue light reinforces wakefulness, at least it did for a short time. Then a modicum of drowsiness returned, and I returned to bed the rest of the night.
Nobody really knows what neurologic processes regulate consciousness. For maybe an hour and a half, i had now drowsiness at all. That transition from one sleep cycle to the next not only didn't happen, as I often experience, but the signal for it to occur at all disappeared.
