Oh my goodness I'm just the same, although lately needed to go to bed at about 9
but.. 2 hours later .. up again!!
3 hours later back to bed... can't get to sleep.. up again.. next day exhausted! Know all the logical things to do & have tried them.. but...
Those kind of sleep patterns are actually perfectly natural - I posted about the this in a previous Elite thread, see below.
There's also a very good article about it on the BBC website, with some interesting comments from people who have similar sleep patterns and a lot of whom have turned it to their advantage by doing something productive or creative in those 'twilight hours'.

It's easier said than done, but trying not to worry about it would be helpful, removing some of the anxiety that somehow you're not sleeping properly. I'm not a medical person, though, so if you are concerned then I'd suggest seeing your GP and/or getting them to refer you to a sleep clinic.Jelly_Biactol wrote: »It's called Bimodal Sleep, and very common in earlier times: people would go to sleep when the Sun went down (candles being expensive), then wake up about 1am or 2am, and did some paperwork, prayed, sat up and talked to each other, or did what a lot of grown-ups still do in bed (I once worked on an 18th-century diary, and a lot of the diary entries where for what we could call the middle of the night); then sleep again till sunrise. It was really only the advent of cheap electric lighting that people began to change their natural sleep patterns and 'defy the Sun' as it were.
Remove artificial lighting and time stimuli (clocks etc), and people will pretty soon revert to the 'natural' two-sleep pattern - there has been research done which proves this.
