from your history it appears that your child is having colic pain due to gas in abdomen
in colic pain you can give anti colic medicines like colicaid 0.5 ml to the child and this medicine can be given maximum three or four times per day but to prevent this problem kindly do regular burping for 15 to 20 minutes.
do not kee ep the child back on the bed after one burping (all gas is not removed with one burping)
during the colic episode you can do stomach massage and limb cycling movements and if the child is more than 2 months of age you can give tummy time also.
advisable to learn more about it from your doctor.

Hi
It's normal sleep pattern for 37 day old baby
Till sleep pattern sets in during night time
Kindly interact most of time during day time
Usually sleep during night time sets by 1.5 to 2 month
Adequate amount of feed during night time is more important
Colic pain also interfere with sleep
So make sure of tummy time strictly .
