A sleep study could help.
My sleep seems to be okay and then I go through phases of unrest.
My sleep study results showed I did not have sleep apnea but I do have interrupted sleep. That night the temp in the room was cool when I went to sleep but shot up hot as the night went on.
I notice I am MUCH more sensitive to well my senses. I need a cotton shirt, soft cotton sheets, a light source (no light at all and I get vertigo easily) a cotton quilt, down pillow on the flatter side to sleep on and a heavier down pillow to put on my head both with cotton cases. I need the temp cool and a fan running (fan must not make variations in sound tones or it's fired) to block out my tinnitus.
Without these things I do not rest well.
I see my sleep neurologist in a few weeks to discuss test results and how to have a more regular sleep pattern. The more of a normal schedule of sleep the better I function all around.
