For some reason, I can fall asleep easily when I go to the bed at night but I wake up everyday exactly after 3hrs of sleep no matter at what time I go to the bed and then I can’t fall back asleep and I’m wide awake. I know there’s a fancy term for that ‘Sleep Maintenance Insomnia’ This has been going for the last 6months and even before that I can’t remember of a time when I had been asleep continuously in a single stretch. Though I tend to function fine on 3hrs of sleep, I am scared of it continuing in the long run and health complications that could arise as a result of these.
Now I’m confused about getting a sleeping pill prescription for my problem as I am afraid I’ll develop tolerance to the medication and soon enough even with drugs I’d be getting just 3hrs of sleep like a lot of people have said that even after taking sleeping pills they can only sleep for 3hrs.
EDIT: I’ve had all my health markers checked including a sleep study but none of that could come to any conclusive evidence about the underlying issue causing Insomnia and after all my health reports were fine, doctors concluded that There’s no reason for my Insomnia and it’s most likely Idiopathic.
