I've had good results with 3mg time-release melatonin. (I use Natrol brand.) I don't wake up feeling hung over; I do feel like I've had a deep sleep. Good luck!

Thank you, I believe this is exactly what my husband uses. His sleep patterns are so different from mine..he falls asleep almost as soon as his head hits the pillow but cannot get back to sleep if he wakes during the night. I cannot get my brain to shut off and it takes me hours to fall asleep which only adds to the anxiety when I know the alarm will sound off in a few hours. I have been listening to binaural beats or the thunder and rain on youtube using earbuds but I still find my mind racing. Been this way all my life really!
