Sometimes you are awake at 3am because you are worrying about things, for example if i have and essay thats gotta be in I would worry about it constantly and end up still awake worrying about it and then get going on it. I wonder why I am so knackered

This could possibly be due to your adrenal glands secreting various chemicals at the wrong time, however diagnosis for adrenal problems need to be conducted by a health care practitioner

Sometimes people experience a number of reasons. Your body has something called sleep cycles and when one finishes you may wake up. Also, you may have a dream and your brain will tell you to wake up if the dream becomes too unpleasant. There are a number of reasons but these are two examples. Why do you think you wake up at that time?

Possibly could be due to unresolved stress/anxiety that was not dealt with before bed. Maybe journal before bed to get all of these thoughts off your chest before sleeping.
