Things I Love
First let me start by saying that I loathe consumerism. I don't like being a consumer. Needful things.

According to Sound Sleep, Sound Mind , fragmented sleep is a common problem with people with sleep issues. Fragmented sleep is typically caused by breathing issues and/or body movement.
