Sorry that you have all these meds and they negatively effect your life and sleep. Have you considered having a sleep study done? Maybe you are a segmented sleeper and can't sleep naturally 7 to 8 hours.. Maybe your time in medical school (med students never sleep, as I recall) permanently messed up your circadian rhythm?

Segmented sleeping is actually how humans used to normally sleep. I sleep segmented until 3 to 4 a.m. every night, am wide awake until 5 am. then sleep soundly until 7-9 a.m. I had to get 2 sleep studies to confirm my segmented sleeping pattern. Been that way my entire life since I was a baby.
Yeah, it obviously has a lot of risks. If it's not going to work, we'll just stop it, I guess. Thank you very much for all the helpful information--I am really grateful.
