If you have sleeping problem, you might have to check for other problem’s possibility. Sleep is like a symptom for many mental problem. Lack of sleep or disability to fall asleep might cause your mental health without you realizing it.
But for me I think it might be of this factors: (Quoted from DBSA site)
Delayed/advanced sleep phase syndrome causes some people to fall asleep and wake up later or earlier. People with these syndromes can still get enough sleep if they are able to change their schedules to accommodate it. Once they fall asleep, they sleep normally.
Aging causes chemical changes in the brain that may make older adults less able to sleep continuously and deeply. They may awaken six times as often as younger people. They are likely to be more sensitive to noise and prone to other medical conditions that keep them awake, including Alzheimer’s or Parkinson’s diseases. Decreased physical activity can also affect older adults’ ability to sleep. Older adults may go to sleep earlier, wake more often, and nap during the day.
Hormones such as progesterone can help a person sleep. So when a woman’s progesterone levels drop during menstruation and rise during ovulation, her sleep can be affected. Pregnancy or birth control pills can also disrupt normal sleep.
Now I know why my grandma keep on bugging me for waking up late. She might be irritated by looking at my peaceful looking sleeping face..haha!
