Sleeplessness.: Typically, this could be due to one of two things. (1) anxiety, wherein our thoughts are keeping us up, and interestingly waking us up as well. (2) change in schedule, akin to shift work when you're sleep schedule has changed.

I have trouble sleeping, and I'm nauseous. What could be wrong? I don't know what's wrong with me. I'm having trouble sleeping lately. I wake up two to three times a night. I'll be awake for awhile, up to two hours before being able to fall asleep again.
Why would i wake up so many times at night? I've been having this problem for weeks now - i wake up about every hour or so during the night. Awaken enough to note the time and i fall back asleep in a minute or two.
Recently I've been waking up two or three times a night for no reason and it takes me awhile to fall back asleep. It's miserabl, why is this happening?
Can get to sleep and stay asleep easily for 3-4 hours. Beyond that I wake up then fall back to sleep, multiple times. Not a snorer. Explanation?
Every time I try to go to sleep early I wake up 3 - 4 hours later completely unable to fall back asleep. Even when I'm so exhausted that I can't stay up any longer this happens. Are there any ways to avoid this?
