I'm having a hard time getting to sleep at a reasonable hour. Most nights, I'm not able to fall asleep until around 3 or 4 a.m., and sometimes it's even laterlike 6 or 7 a.m.and then I have to get up at 9 or 10 a.m. to rush to work. Even on those rare occasions when I manage to sleep at a decent hour, I end up staying awake the entire next day only to finally crash around 4 a.m. again. It's like I'm stuck in this cycle. What could be going on, and how can I fix this?

Ive been feeling really sleepy from 7pm to 9pm every night and its starting to worry me. Even though I take a two-hour nap every afternoon, I still get really drowsy in the evening. Is there something I can do to change this pattern or any advice you could give me on why this might be happening?

To combat evening sleepiness, try limiting afternoon naps to 20-30 minutes, establishing a consistent sleep schedule, staying hydrated, getting fresh air, and engaging in relaxing activities, while avoiding screens before bedtime, and consider a 10-15 minute walk or some light stretching to boost energy levels.
