Many possibilities: There are multiple reasons why you can't stay asleep. The best starting point is to address your sleep hygiene. Start with making sure you have this list covered before looking at other factors. http://www.webmd.com/sleep-disorders/features/sleep-hygiene#1 If addressing these items doesn't help, then you may need to see a sleep doctor for a sleep study.
