I don't sleep all the way through the night

I don't sleep all the way through the night, I doze in short cat naps. I doze, I dream, I wake up, and then I go back to sleep. If I go to bed too early I just lay there staring at the ceiling or out the window. I don't get any rest just lying in bed and staring out the window. At least, with the cat naps I get a little rest, but only if I don't go to bed early.

A bedtime of between 9:00 and 10:00 PM is best because it isn't too early and I have a chance of sleeping or cat napping. Even when I do go to bed at the proper time, if I don't go to sleep right away then I think I have insomnia. Last night I went to bed about 9:30 or 10:00 PM. However, instead of just lying there waiting to go to sleep, I had my prayer book and said some prayers, I dozed off and on between prayers, but then actually went to sleep.

I didn't got up about 5:30 instead of 4:00 AM, but that's alright. I feel rested and that gives me a chance to take my meds about an hour or so before I eat. Taking the meds early enough so that I have breakfast before 9:00 AM is good.
