Disturbed sleep pattern

Question

Asked for Male, 24 Years

I've been experiencing a very disturbed sleeping pattern for a while now. I wake up at least 2-3 times in the middle of the night, and can't sleep for longer than a 2-3 hours at a stretch. My total sleeping hours has been less than 4 hours (sometimes I can't even sleep at all) as I can't go back to sleep immediately after waking up in the middle of the night. This broken sleep pattern keeps me tired all day long and less productive. I have been maintaining a schedule with regards to when I go to bed and when I eat my meals, but nothing seems to help. Any suggestions would be much appreciated.
