Fine during the day, but contractions at night!?

What is it about 2 a.m.?  For the past two nights I have woken up to cramping, contractions and back pain...  I'll walk around a bit, get some water, time the contractions (they're usually about 7 minutes apart) and then fall asleep again around 4 a.m.  When I wake up later, contractions are gone. 

Anyone else only getting contractions at night?  Wonder if it means I'm dehydrated and/or the baby just gets in a bad position or on a nerve while I'm sleeping?

    I have contractions off and on all day but they are bad / more constant at night. Usually 7-8 min apart lasting 1-2 min each. Then they stop after about 3 hours. My Ob said " oh your just practicing".... I am ready to stop practicing at 40 weeks :(

    I get them at night when my bladder is full. The contractions wake me up. OB says a full bladder is more irritable, so it's common.

    Mine start around dinner time and are gone by the morning. I don't mind practice if it brings some progress

    Mine starts around 2am and ends around 5am. Really starts to get annoying. Wish labor would come already! 38.1 weeks

    Mine go from 12am to 4am for the last month. Doesn't matter position I am laying in, sitting, or a full bladder. I agree! No more practice, let's get on with the real thing.

    This is me right now. Up all night with contractions. They're getting stronger and there is a pattern, but I've been here before and it was false labor.

    Glad to know I'm not alone with this. So frustrating!  (and I really want some sleep)..

    Contractions have been crazy at night! But then wake up in the AM and lo and behold, STILL PREGNANT. I hope they are doing something. I've been instructed to sleep during early labor as much as possible, and to take Tylenol PM when I feel like labor is coming on. So I've been taking it the last two nights bc I'm not sure, so at least the contractions don't keep me up at night.
