The gist of this seems be what is called "sleep compression" or sleep restriction the edges can be a bit blurry. Sleep hygiene [1] is usually the first thing a doctor will advise. If that does not work, or does not work well enough, your doctor will move on to sleep compression [3] or sleep restriction [2], or compression then restriction if compression does not work. The next step is a "sleep study". You go to a lab, and they have a room you can sleep in, and they attach all sorts of sensors to your body. Getting up to pee is a big hassle for both you and the staff. Based on the study results, they may try medication or a new round of sleep compression [3] or sleep restriction [2]. For me sleep compression [3] or sleep restriction [2] let to blinding headaches. My body requires more sleep so that method was not good for me. There is no single procedure that will work for everyone. Sleep hygien has a high frequency of success. Sleep compression [3] or Sleep restriction [2] does to but less frequently. Listen to your body while you are experimenting and dont feel bad if the first step does not work. I include a " Cautionary Note" from [2] sleep restriction therapy. A Cautionary Note: It is suggested that you begin by spending a minimum of 5.5 hours in bed, regardless of how long you think you sleep, so that job performance does not suffer too much and you are able to function during the day. If you have significant difficulty staying awake, do not attempt this method. It is not for everyone. If you have any concerns or questions please talk to your doctor. 1. https://www.cdc.gov/sleep/about_sleep/sleep_hygiene.html https://www.cdc.gov/sleep/about_sleep/sleep_hygiene.html 2. https://thrive.kaiserpermanente.org/care-near-you/northern-california/sanjose/wp-content/uploads/sites/7/2015/10/sleep-restriction-rev2_tcm28-557887.pdf https://thrive.kaiserpermanente.org/care-near-you/northern-c... 3. https://www.med.upenn.edu/cbti/assets/user-content/documents/btsd--sleepcompression-bsmtxprotocols.pdf https://www.med.upenn.edu/cbti/assets/user-content/documents...
