How Can A Sleep Disorder Causing Tiredness Be Treated?

hi, for the past few days, I ve been falling asleep very early but waking up two hours later very tired. when I fall asleep, I sleep hard...almost like I m passed out. I wake up two hours later and I m up for like 40 minutes and then I fall back asleep and the cycle repeats. because of this, I just constantly feel tired and drained of energy. what s wrong with me?

Your sleep cycle is disturbed.
1 sleep cycle is of 90mins, which repeats regularly.
in your case, it is important to rule out the cause of this disturbed sleep.
Polysomnography (sleep study ) should be performed to know the whole pattern of your sleep in various stages... after that i can comment on the further line of management....
