Hi Lucy,
I will often wake late the next morning, wonder why I didn't get up in the middle of the night, and then discover that somehow I must have got up, turned off both of my alarm clocks and gone back to sleep without even realising it! [/b]
Well, if you turned the alarms off then at least you know you DID wake up in the middle of the night. What you need to do is remember to stay up a little longer so that you're a bit more fully awake.
What I think is happening is that you're soooo tired that you wake up, turn the alarms off and fall back to sleep too soon. Some suggest reading or watching some TV. Where are your alarms located? Are they right next to your bed? If so, put them across the room - somewhere where you actually have to get OUT of bed to turn them off. This will help wake you up to the point where you'll be aware that you're trying to WBTB and need to stay up a little longer.
You also might want to try having a softdrink or something with caffeine in it about an hour or so before bed. Not too much, but just enough to not get you to sleep so deeply.
Hope this helps
