Alice Gregory, a psychology professor at Goldsmiths, University of London and the author of [URL='https://www.bloomsbury.com/uk/nodding-off-9781472946157/']Nodding Off[/URL], says it’s quite normal to wake up during the night. After dropping off, we move through different stages of sleep, a cycle that takes the average adult about 90 minutes to complete and speeds up towards morning. “The night is also punctuated by brief awakenings,” says Gregory. “Typically, people return to sleep without realising that they had ever been awake.” But sometimes we might at least be more aware of it, or pulled entirely awake.
