What should I do if I have implemented nearly all the sleep suggestions from Dr. Huberman, such as getting sunlight in the morning and late afternoon, dimming lights and avoiding screens at night, eating 3 hours before sleep, keeping naps or NSDR short and early in the afternoon, stopping caffeine intake after noon, exercising consistently around noon, and staying hydrated during the day, but I still keep waking up after 4 or 5 hours and can't fall back asleep, even with yoga nidra or NSDR? I went to the doctor, and they prescribed me trazodone, but I still don't get more than 6 hours of sleep.

However, nothing seems to work because I fall asleep fine around 9 or 10 pm but keep waking up after 4 or 5 hours and can't fall back asleep, even with yoga nidra or NSDR. I went to the doctor, and they prescribed me trazodone, but I still don't get more than 6 hours of sleep. What should I do?
