I don't seem to have the problem of not getting to sleep or waking in the middle of the night any more. I think it is partly because I am totally retired now and don't have the stress of a paid job on me. Also I try to go to the gym everyday and when I can't I exercise at home. Good luck in finding something that helps! I will be thinking about you.

It might be best to have a sleep test before you self diagnose. I have improved in health and sleep since I was diagnosed with apnea. Now that I have a CPAP machine, I have never felt better.
I have read that inaccurate doses of melatonin can raise blood pressure,cause fatigue, depression and affects fertility. Naturally you should check that you don't have heart problems or hypertension before you take any hormones or drugs because you don't want complications of stroke etc.

I have used a product called MidNite PM. It helps to promote healthy sleep and Manages minor pain. Works quite well for me and it is not habit forming. I use it when I have been working too hard in the garden and yard. It is chewable and you can take it anytime. It has Bomelain and Melatonin in it and other herbs. Has the Good Housekeeping seal if that means anything to you. Hope you find something that works. You need your sleep.
