Need help!

I own a Honda City ZX Anniversary Edition (2008 - Petrol) and have been experiencing a few issues recently.

Initially, I noticed a sharp creaking noise while turning the steering, along with jerking during acceleration. I replaced the front suspension, lower arm, link rod and spark plugs. The steering noise was addressed by servicing the steering motor, and replacing the ignition coil resolved most of the jerking issues.

However, after a recent 100 km highway drive followed by around 10 km of slow traffic, I noticed the following:
- Jerky or uneven acceleration, especially after slowing down and pressing the accelerator again.
- Occasional jerks or vibrations when idling in neutral after a long drive.
- More noticeable vibration and uneven acceleration when the AC is ON.
- The sharp steering creaking noise has returned after the long drive and slow traffic.

Has anyone experienced similar issues with their Honda City?

One more observation: If I leave the car unused for a few hours or overnight, it seems to run fine again during short drives. The symptoms seem to appear after prolonged driving followed by slow traffic.

Any suggestions or similar experiences would be highly helpful. Thanks!

I’ve been struggling to get enough sleep lately, and I’ve noticed a few patterns in my sleep cycle.

- From my experience, I function well when I get more than 7 hours of sleep. However, whenever I wake up after only 6 hours, I tend to feel tired and low on energy throughout the day.

- There are also times when I have to wake up early because of unavoidable work or other commitments. The problem is that once this happens, the same pattern often continues the following days. I find it very difficult to get back to sleeping 7+ hours, even when I try.

- Another challenge is that I’ve become overly focused on getting at least 7 hours of sleep. I often worry about how I’ll feel if I don’t reach that mark, and ironically, that concern itself seems to make the situation worse. The more I think about it, the more likely I am to fall short of my sleep goal.

- I’m naturally a night owl and usually don’t fall asleep quickly. Most nights, I fall asleep between 2:30 AM and 3:00 AM and wake up around 9:30 AM to 10:00 AM.

- I’ve also tried forcing myself to go back to sleep after waking up at the 6-hour mark, but that rarely works. Once I’m awake, I usually can’t fall asleep again, no matter how hard I try.

And, when I don’t get enough sleep, I feel something throughout my body right after waking up. It’s hard to describe, but it almost feels like there’s some kind of internal pressure or tension building up. I don’t feel relaxed or “light” the way I do after a good night’s sleep. Not sure I’m describing it right.

Any thoughts on this would be highly helpful.
