Do you feel like shit when you wake up? I think that can train you to not want to sleep
It can also be indicative of a sleep disorder. This was basically how I figured out I had sleep apnea. Well, that, and seeing my O2 level drop into the 80s every time they took me off oxygen while I was recovering from a surgery.

Oof, sorry to hear that. Yeah, it's no fun. If you can get a sleep study and get on CPAP therapy, do it ASAP -- no amount of sleep aids will help you if you're literally suffocating on your own soft palate when you sleep.
If you want to verify before going to a sleep doc, you can get a cheap saturated O2 monitor on Amazon or something -- there are even some that have Bluetooth/smartphone connectivity and a recording feature so you can plot a graph of your blood oxygen levels throughout the night. If you see huge drops <90-92, and you know that you snore, that's a big damn red flag, and not the kind that we like around here. Good luck, and if you live in the US, I'm sorry; there isn't a DIY homebrew frontier medicine solution for this one, unless you can get your hands on a grey market CPAP/BiPAP machine for cheap. I know some places will sell without a prescription/insurance if you buy what are technically unassembled parts, but yeah... Then you have to program the damn thing with no diagnostic data to use as a starting point.
Sorry this turned into a "tell me you hacked your CPAP machine without saying you hacked a CPAP machine" post. lol

If you snore, then the snoring is definitely why you feel like shit. You will feel way the fuck better with a cpap machine. Needs a prescription.
It puts a slight pressure into your airways and prevents them from collapsing and causing snoring. Bad snoring is sleep apnea and you just choke yourself out as you sleep.
If you have allergies but not enough money to just buy a machine, then it might not be the best. The insurance company forces you to use or lose it, and if you have a runny nose and inflamed sinuses you cant wear it, because you cant properly sniffle, it's horrible, makes you gag. Impossible to keep in compliance even though you need it on good days.
Completely comfortable without allergies. No issues.
But if you don't have allergies, or you get them occasionally and have a thousand bucks, you can get a CPAP machine. A sleep study might also cost a grand if your insurance doenst cover it.
You will feel noticeably better, and if you go to sleep without the machine, about 1-2 mornings later you will notice how bad it feels to not have it.

Everything does, I'd say avoid those brands, you're gonna die earlier from lack of sleep than you would from cancer. Idk if a deviated septum could look like sleep apnea and it's not really that, but a sleep specialist doctor would know
Interesting, do you nap upright at all, or in some other position? That could be why

Bingo. 99 percent chance it's sleep apnea. Most people get sleep apnea more when they're laying on their back.
I waited way too long to get a sleep study and a CPAP. I simply do not feel like shit anymore. Not groggy, less headaches, more energy and focus
