I've been having major sleep issues recently (waking up every 60-90s minutes, trouble staying asleep, averaging 2-4 hours of sleep a night total).
I recorded myself overnight and heard quite a bit of snoring, so I picked up a at-home sleep study kit, convinced that I had sleep apnea. The results were that I didn't, classified my O2 intake as normal, and my snoring threshold as low.
I'm at a loss as to what do now. I have been practicing good sleep hygiene and exercising, but now I'm at the point where I'm asking my doctor for a prescription because I'm just so desperate for a night of sleep.

- michaelkschmidt 6y agoHave you tried taking melatonin right before bed? Even with a CPAP machine I use them from time to time. Just be sure you have a full 8 hours as it can make you groggy the next morning

- tren 6y agoIf you can, reach out for help. Talk to your GP and don't discount any advice they give you. If you can talk to a cbti sleep specialist (usually a psych), it's worth trying out. I did group cbti and in conjunction with other things, it helped a lot. I was in a similar boat to you a couple of years ago
