I have trouble with my sleeping patterns , i wake up every 5 mins in a half asleep state like i'm shocked or got disturbed during my sleep... what could be causing this?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Can't diagnose : If this is a chronic sleep pattern for you than it likely warrants an sleep medicine evaluation. A sleep study might be recommended.
