@bluechip33 On a good night I get to 4:30? I'm going to try to stop with the Melatonin and see if that has any effect? I read long term use can cause negative effects? And long term use is not recommended? I love the Indian Flute music idea, I love that music anyway. Thank you for the ideas and giving me the reassurance that there are others among us with the same issues.

Glad it helps! It sure helped me to read about someone who has previously experienced the same road. Oh, I’ve been on melatonin for over 10 years, but check with your Dr. One more thing, my dry mouth is often the culprit that wakes me early. I have to rinse with Biotene dry mouthwash prior to bed and sleep with a Biotene or Act lozenge between cheek and gum(usually two or three per night). Good luck!
