Sleep hygiene: Lots of issues. Seeing as how this was written in the early morning hours, it may have to do with technology and excess light that it turning off your body's natural sleep rhythm. Lights from computer and phones can do this in as little as 1-2 weeks and may be long-standing. Work on sleep hygiene and healthy sleep habits. Wake up at the same time everyday and no naps. See sleep dr if needed.
