RE: What is the expected time for continuous sleep?
Having most or all of your calories shortly before bed can be quite problematic. As you get older, your blood sugar is going to be much higher with one meal a day than splitting between 3 meals a day. I would try using more carbs in the daytime when you are active and save the protein/fat for the evening and see if that helps. No, not a perfect solution, but I understand - my sister was a 1 meal a day person for a decade and it took a lot of effort for her to change, but she had to.
You've obviously noted that your smoking makes a difference, so quitting smoking should be a focus. It's hard. The average smoker tries to quit 7-9 times before they are successful. I quit back in '91, so I get it. There are many suggested methods to try to quit smoking - I tried 5 before I was successful.
