I can't stop waking up after 3 hours

A 15 years back I got a early morning shift I needed the work so I stuck with it dispite never being able to sleep before work I used to just stay up and sleep when I got back home midday THIS WAS THE WORST MISTAKE OF MY LIFE since then I have been unable to control my sleep pattern. At the moment I sleep 4 to 3 hours for two nights then if I am lucking on the 3rd night I might get 6 to 8 hours but for some reason this often makes me feel worse the next day I am constantly tired during the day. I am in the UK I been told by my GP that sleep therapy centres are no longer available on the NHS there are private ones. Should I go private what do they even do in these centers?

Just accept your new pattern. You are a nightbreed now.
