Less than 6 hours of sleep per night can cause some serious health issues. However, you should look into your bedding first before taking any medication. Here is a good guide about it - https://dailysleep.org/best-shredded-memory-foam-pillow/

An average 7-8 hours sleep is good enough for an individual, if you are getting less sleep you can take medication on advice of your doctor.
My doctor prescribed me taking generic Ambien when I really feel sleeplessness and I got much better sleep.

On average, a person needs about 7-8 hours a night. It's very individual and some people need around 10 and others can cope with less. A lot of people don't get as much sleep as they really need. If you are sleeping less than you need you should try some natural remedies to extend your night of sleeping. I would not rush to take any kind of medication unless you have confirmed with your doctor that it's a sleep disorder.

How will I know if I am getting enough sleep?

The best test to see if you are sleeping enough is to decide if you feel sleepy during the day. Nearly everyone gets a sleepy time just after lunch or eating a big meal but if you are feeling dozy at other times during the day it might be a sign that your body needs more sleep.

I have trouble sleeping for more than 3 hours a night. Do you think I have a sleep disorder?

You can't just make an assessment like that with such little information. It's possible that if you've tried all the tips to help you get more sleep and you still are struggling, that you might have a sleep disorder of some kind. But as sleep problems can also indicate other medical issues, I would go to your family physician and ask for help.

Are there foods or drinks that make it harder to fall asleep at night?

there has been some research which suggests that high-fat foods can interrupt your sleep cycle. Also they are heavy to digest which can also influence the kind of sleep that you have.

Caffeine is also another big culprit of sleep disruption and even small amounts can cause a problem. It's not just coffee that contains caffeine but also cola, chocolate and decaf coffee too.

Watch out for medications - some tablets also contain caffeine and can affect sleep.
