This is my problem recently maybe due to the tragedy that I experienced and all the connected issues that were giving me stress. When I am stressed out I noticed that I get sleepy early in the evening like 8 pm. But I try to fight it because my bedtime hour is 9:30 pm. When I go to bed it will take less than 5 minutes for me to sleep. That is fine. However, I would wake up before midnight (usually at 11 pm) and my mind would be active that sleep would be far from me. I will lose 2 hours by staying awake. Sometimes I watch tv or do the crossword puzzle to make me sleep. Fortunately I get around 3 hours of sleep from 2 am up to 5 am. Is that enough if I get around 6 hours of sleep? The doctor in the family said for my age 6 hours of sleep is enough. But I feel lethargic so I get a nap of 15 minutes during the daytime.
Now my target is to get back to my usual sleep pattern of continuous sleeping from 9:30 pm to 5 am. Last night I had a can of beer that made me sleep early but regarding continuous sleep the beer did not help. I would greatly appreciate some suggestions but no medications, please. I want a natural means to sleep well.
