A report from Tom’s Guide examines why adults in their 40s often struggle with nighttime awakenings, featuring advice from sleep specialists Dr. Chris Winter and Dr. Shelby Harris. The experts explain that shifts into lighter sleep phases, hormonal changes, elevated stress, and rising risks for sleep disorders frequently disrupt rest. Suggested management tips include keeping a consistent morning wake time, getting regular sunlight exposure, and logging routines in a sleep diary. The author notes that individuals experiencing persistent or worsening sleep issues should consult a physician for a medical evaluation.
