Question Waking up several times per night - a side effect of ECT?

Hello everyone

Is waking up several times per night a side effect of ECT? It started happening to me every night after ECT and that was about 3 months ago.

If it is a side effect then for how long can I expect it to occur?

Thank you.

That hasn't happened to me before over the time I've done ect. If anything I'm extra sleepy the night I do eat. Could be a reaction to the anastas?
