Go get a sleep study done. That will tell you. You may have sleep apnea. Also you may want to ask your doctor about a sleep aid such as ambien.
Exactly the wrong advice. Ambien decreases NREM 3 duration and amplitude. Do not ask for Ambien.
Sleeping pills do not provide natural sleep, can damage health, and increase the risk of life-threatening diseases. (p. 282)
On Ambien specifically:
If you compare natural, deep-sleep brainwave activity to that induced by modern-day sleeping pills, such as zolpidem (brand name Ambien) or eszopiclone (brand name Lunesta), the electrical signature, or quality, is deficient.

It destroy sleep, by creating an addiction making it impossible to fall asleep without it.
And it is bad sleep as the brain does not go into deep sleep
I wish there was safe pills in the US. I use benadryl.
I pour about 1/5th of a capsule into a glass of water.
The default dosage is far too high.
Ambien is for inducing sleep, not maintaining it. It should be treated as a "in case of emergency break glass" option.
"In a report published in JAMA Internal Medicine, researchers offers compelling evidence of a link between long-term use of anticholinergic medications like Benadryl and dementia."
