Toddler not sleeping

So my baby is around a year and a half. She doesn’t sleep much. She ca. sleep an hour at night and be nice and refreshed, ready to start her day. I have sort out help from her pediatricians just for them to tell me she is one of the 2% in the world that can function with little to no sleep. They don’t suggest any medication lotions massages, nothing. Has anyone else ever heard this from their pediatrician? I am at my breaking point and feel like I am going crazy from lack of sleep. I also can’t afford to keep getting a babysitter once a month so I can get some sleep since I am a single mother. And suggestions would be appreciated.

What is her day and night time schedule like ? What do you do at night when she wakes up ?

@Carrie our daily routine consist of waking up around 10 or 11 having breakfast playing until lunchtime then after lunch, I allow her to have 15 minutes of screen time after that we read books and play some more until dinner time and after dinner, she gets a bath and she gets to run around for about an hour, and then I swaddle her (swaddling is the only way I can get her to sleep for more than four hours) her bedtime is at 8:30 every night, but she wakes up every single hour and it can take anywhere from 1:50 hours to get her back to sleep once she has woken up throughout the night. She does not get a nap anymore throughout the day she gets 3 meals and snacks throughout the day. At night when she wakes up, I just pat her butt while she lays in her bed until she falls back to sleep until it gets to really early in the morning when she still won’t sleep then I eventually have to put her in the bed and co-sleep with her

Have you tried switching to an earlier wake time ? Does she share a room with you ? What happens if you don’t go check in on her ? Does she scream and cry all night ? Did you do any sleep training with her ?

@Carrie we used to get up earlier but if I do that she is running on no sleep. We do still share a room and if I don’t go in to check on her when she cries she will scream for hours before going to sleep on her own and she really doesn’t go to sleep she just lays there sniffling like she’s been defeated and no one will help her.

@Carrie when it come to sleep training I tried since she has been born with zero progress and finally gave up about two months ago
