A doctor has provided 1 answer

Sleep study: To get into this pattern it is likely she never achieves any deep restorative sleep which in most will last at least 3-4 hrs in the first segment. Waking at hourly intervals may indicate an underlying medical condition that must be treated before a healthy sleep pattern is possible.I would seek out a sleep study, often done at specialty centers overnight. Analysis allows you to focus treatment.
