Is it acceptable for a married man to sleep beside his mother, cuddle her, or kiss her face, especially when his mother expects him to spend nights in her room and involves him in activities like back massages and Hajama appointments?
Zaid Alsalami

Bismihi ta'āla

Men and women, mahram or non-mahram, must always observe boundaries between each other. With mahram, the boundaries are less, but there still are boundaries. 

Most of what you have mentioned in your question is crossing the boundary, or should be avoided, so as to not all into haram. 

We cannot say he might have incestuous tendency, but it is not normal behaviour for a son to sleep right beside his mother and spend nights in her room, etc. He might have more feminine tendency, hence these activities, but it is also his mother to be responsible for this as well. 

I would advise someone have a talk with both of them, about boundaries, and the possible shaytani influence that could corrupt anyone.

And Allah knows best
Is it sinful if I often miss prayers and wake up late, such as around Maghrib or Isha, after staying up for Fajr? When I do wake up, I find it hard to get out of bed quickly and tend to delay my prayers. How can I change this pattern of behaviour?
Sayyed Mohammad Al-Musawi

It is obligatory to perform every obligatory Prayer on its time and ir us sinful to deliberately miss any obligatory Prayer. We must make every possible arrangement to perform our obligatory Prayers on time and never miss any of them.

We need to organize our sleeping time to be able to get up and perform our obligatory Prayers.

We might use an alarm or request some one to wake us up for obligatory Prayers.

What solutions or Duas in Islam can help address extreme sleep deprivation and memory fog?
Sayyed Mohammad Al-Musawi

After consulting your doctor, you might be able to tackle sleep deprivation by reciting Tasbeeh of Fatima Zahra (AS) with understanding every word of it (Allahu Akbar 43 times , Alhamdulillah 33 times then Subhanallah 33 times). By repeating this Tasbeeh, you might be able to tackle this problem.'

For better memory there are many solutions including : 1. Performing every Prayer on time and never postponing it. 2. Reciting Quran or listening to Quranic recitation as much as you can. 3. Trying to memorize Quranic verses as much as you can and trying to add more gradually.

4. Reciting this Du'a after Prayers : ALLAHUMMA EJ'AL LI FI QALBI NOORAN WA BASARAN WA FAHMAN WA ;ELMAN INNAKA 'ALA KULLI SHAY;IN QADEER. اللهم إجعل لي في قلبي  نوراً وبصراً وفهماً وعلماً إنك على كل شيءٍ قدير.

Is it acceptable to recite all our supplications before sleep while lying down in bed, or should we be sitting up on the bed instead?
Sayyed Mohammad Al-Musawi

Yes it is allowed to recite our supplications while lying on bed. It is not necessary to be sitting on the bed for reciting the supplications. It is important to be sure that lying on the bed should not make you quickly fall asleep before completing the supplications which you intend to recite.

Wassalam.
