Getting to sleep

Every night I read for about 10minutes then fall asleep but wake up, wide awake, after 5 minutes. This happens about 4 times then I fall asleep for about 6 hours and sleep very heavily, I hear nothing. It's weird but I always have this sort of false start a few times before dropping off properly. I'm very careful about caffeine, chocolate etc. But can't find a reason.
Anyone have anything similar?

I read for quite a while. My only problem is having to get up for a wee two or three times a night,guess it is an age thing. I try not to think of any worries and also find trying to keep my eyes open makes them close lol. Sweet dreams everyone. xxx

I often don't sleep well. Often go downstairs and make a cup of cocoa or decaf tea, go in the spare room and put the radio on - I enjoy the World Service at night. Doesn't bother me since don't have to get up for work. Will often enjoy a lovely zizz on the sofa in the afternoon if I've had a bad night.
Always read before going to sleep and often in the night too. Kindle is handy for not disturbing dh, but if I want the radio it's got to be the spare room. Often go to sleep eventually with radio still on.
There's a lot of interesting stuff on the World Service in the small hours!
