What medications do they have you on? Are you working with a sleep specialist or GP?

I take clonazepam given to me by my sleep doctor. I have no trouble falling asleep only staying asleep really and the meds keep me asleep but I know they’re very addictive so I don’t like to take them daily

Maybe they can supplement or replace the clonazepam with something non-addictive? Perhaps something like doxepin or trazadone?

Neither of those medications are available in my country

:( I'm sorry. Maybe if you talk to your sleep doctor they can figure out something else they can give you.
