Hi,
What happens is one night I sleep for a full 12 hours but the next night I can’t sleep at all. What is this problem called? What do you guys recommend I do ?

I don’t think you’re supposed to stay in bed for 12 hours in the first place! That’s why you probably have 0 sleep drive for the next night.

Yes I agree. I have tried using an alarm clock to wake up after 7 hours but I feel so sleepy I go back to sleep.

Riding the roller coaster of lots of sleep then little (or no sleep) then lots of sleep is almost always a symptom of allotting too much time for sleep and not observing a consistent out of bed time in the morning.

If it’s important for you to enjoy more consistent sleep, it’s important to observe a consistent sleep schedule!

Here’s a short video about this: How to stop the sleep roller coaster and make sleep more consistent and more predictable.

I hope this helps!
