I have this issue often. I know if I scratch, it will wake me up and take longer to sleep because of my body movement. If I don’t scratch, my mind only focuses on the itch. Sometimes I’ll wait 5 minutes for the scratch to go away and then I just cave and start scratching any minor itch I have on my body. Has anyone just not moved and let the itch subside or does everyone scratch?
Why do you itch? What is causing you to be itchy. You should not be waking up itchy that is not normal. Diagnose what is causing the itch, and then remove that thing, then you don’t have to even deal with the itch conundrum.
But also… scratch that sum’bitch.

How do you know you’re itchy if you’re not already awake? Also maybe you need less itchy sheets or pajamas.

I currently have two mosquito bites on my ankle. Last night was completely ruined and tonight isn’t looking much better.
Put on body lotion before sleep to make it a non-issue. Also, scratch it.
Ooh never tried that thanks for the suggestion
