Struggling with Sleep: Seeking Advice

Has anyone had any luck improving their sleep? My bf has told me that I tend to talk, kick, and move around a lot while asleep. I feel chronically exhausted despite getting way too much sleep. I can easily sleep 11-13 or so hours a day and still don’t even have the energy to stand for extended periods… help

Honestly, as weird as it sounds, for me, getting less sleep gives me more energy than when i get more. I usually am really productive after the nights i get about 4-6 hours rather than 11-12. Also, seroquel is a med sent from the gods for helping my insomnia

Saw some great advice and realized I forgot to mention that I have been trying OTC sleep medicines (melatonin/diphenhydramine) and also trazadone with no improvement
