Hello.
In the last couple of years, I had many sleep problems and I want to share them so you can give me some tips on how to solve them.
1. For feeling refreshed and energized my body needs to sleep between 7.5 to 8.5 hours. the more I sleep the better I feel(happiness, memory, stress) without it I feel tired and groggy and so on so the best thing to do is not waking up with an alarm but I don’t feel any difference between 8 hours with alarms or 9 hours without.
people have told me that they can sleep 6 hours and feel energized and 6 hours is enough for every man(blame of laziness) and I need to habituate my body for that and after a couple of months my body will get used to sleeping 6 hours and I won’t feel any tiredness, does it true? (3 hours of free time)
2. Since age 25(IM 33 now) I waking up 2 times on average sometimes I have strong urine sometimes weak so I can’t point out if it’s because of that. sometimes I woke up from hearing my snoring and some times from nightmares there is any tool that can help me to figure out why I”m waking up? I did a Sleep lab test. and it said that I always move even with my REM sleep. and there is no other problem.
3. I think I have a problem with my Biological clock. after I sleep 8 hours(from 11 PM to 7 AM) my body doesn’t let me sleep at 11 PM the next day. even if I turn off the light and go to sleep at 10 PM. I will only sleep at 12.5 AM and then I would feel tired on that day. and this will happen again on the next day. I can’t help it. Do u think melatonin 1-10MG will solve the problem?
4. when I go on trips or sleep on other houses or sleep next to a friend who is snoring I can’t sleep at all. will melatonin solve the problem? or I need another strong chemical pill?
I do meditation the relax but it doesn’t help me at all.

I really need help here my friends

Welcome to the forum!

I wonder if it might be worth exploring the accuracy of the belief that you can only feel refreshed and energized if you get between 7.5 and 8.5 hours of sleep? Have you ever felt refreshed and energized after 7 hours and 20 minutes of sleep, for example?

Also, is it 100% true, 100% of the time that the more sleep you get, the happier you will be during the day? If, for example, you got five hours of sleep but then won the lottery that day, would you be happy? Or, because you got only five hours of sleep would you still be unhappy?

These thoughts and beliefs can be worth exploring because they can cause us to put effort into getting a certain amount of sleep — and as soon as we put effort into sleep, we make sleep more difficult!

Waking during the night is not unusual, and since you’ve had a sleep study that found nothing unusual going on, this might be one less thing for you to feel concerned about!

Very few people fall asleep at the exact same time every single night! For this reason, it can be helpful to think of your bedtime as an earliest possible bedtime — if you don’t feel sleepy at 11:00 PM, for example, you might want to delay going to bed until you do feel sleepy (while sticking to the same final out of bed time in the morning).

Like you, I find it very hard to sleep around people who snore! Since melatonin doesn’t generate sleep I doubt you’ll find it helpful for that. As for whether medication would be appropriate, that’s a conversation you should probably have with your doctor!

I hope this helps!
