Is waking up numerous times normal?

by beasley131, Sep 26, 2009 05:49PM
I wake up usually between 8-20 times a night.  I go to bed around 10 and get up at 6.  Sometimes it can take me hours to fall asleep.  I am a very light sleeper.  If my husband rolls over, I wake up.  I  do not move in my sleep.  If I need to roll over...I wake up and do it.  I'm so tired of this, I want to sleep!  Not to mention that this can not be great for my health.  

* I am 29yr old female
* I have a daycare and watch kids for 12 hours a day (plus my own 2 kids)
* I don't work out, but very active with the kids
* I have had this sleep prob since around highschool
* I have had 3 spontanous pneumorthaxes (lung collapse with no known cause)

My husband says that a lot of times my breathing is very rapid while I'm sleeping.  I don't know, but this probably has to do with my lung thing.  IDK.  

Should I talk to my doctor about this?  My husband asked me last night why I never went to the doctor for this.  I said I've had it for so long that I don't really pay attention to it. KWIM?  I also said that I assume it is a woman thing, many women have sleeping problems.

Hi

Sounds like a problem you need to consult your doctor about.  It isn't normal to be such a light sleeper.  You must feel exhausted!
