If so, you know how uncomfortable and tiring a restless night of sleep can be. But if you find yourself constantly wondering, <em>&#8220;Why do I toss and turn all night?&#8221; <\/em>it&#8217;s worth adjusting your sleeping habits.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">First, the good news: The occasional night of restless sleep is normal, and probably nothing to worry about, says Raj Dasgupta, M.D., FAASM, a sleep medicine specialist in California<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and a spokesperson for the American Academy of Sleep Medicine<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.
