"Nighttime Wakefulness May be Perfectly Natural...
According to Roger Ekirch, historian and author of the book At Day's Close: Night in Times Pastii, the historically recent change to this pattern could be the root of a condition called sleep maintenance insomnia, where people wake during the night and have trouble getting back to sleep.

Why do they try to read more into this than what really is the issue? The fact is that I wake up at night to use the bathroom. After that if I have problems getting back to sleep, it is because of something that happened during the day that was upsetting. I did not think about it during the day because I was busy doing something else. This is just my two cents.

When I go to the bathroom in the middle of the night, I drink some water and take two magnesium and then I fall back to sleep within a few minutes.
No matter how much magnesium I take, I always run on the low side so I cannot overdo magnesium.

Sleep is not usually a problem for me because I have lots of activity during the day. I rarely take a day off.
