Is my betta fish sleeping too much?

I think it's best to adjust the pH with water changes, rather than using a product. If you notice the pH starts creeping higher than your normal tap water over time, it's worth considering what in the tank might be causing it - it could be the decor, like rocks, or even the sand. But if your tap pH is also 8, then it's probably not worth changing, since your fish is already used to it.

I wouldn't recommend using methylene blue at this point, but I think using salt could be a good idea. You can find instructions on how to use salt by searching this forum for posts by @coltin. If you can temporarily move your snail to a separate container, like a milk jug, and remember to do frequent water changes, I think it would be a good idea to move him out while you treat the tank with salt.

It's also probably a good idea to stop feeding your betta for now. He can go a few days without food, and it might actually help since he doesn't seem to be wanting to eat at the moment anyway.

A few more questions - is your fish pooping normally? What's the consistency and color like? Is its Sprig redder than normal? Are there any sores or disrupted scales? And was there any chance that hand sanitizer on your hands could have gotten into the tank?

Also, what's the temperature of your tank?
