@coryl, ask your physician about melatonin. I’ve found it helps me sleep almost all thru the night. (I wake up from hip pain, both fibro and sciatica) and have to roll over but I don’t stay awake after anymore.) I take anywhere between 2.5-5mg in a chewable tablet, cutting them in half to get 2.5-3.75 mg.
Just remember to take them about 2 hours before you want to go to sleep or you can wake up groggy in the morning (I know this from experience) and don’t take the full 5mg unless you have a full 8-9 (or 10) hours to sleep.
It’s been a lifesaver and non-habit forming like muscle relaxants.

@hraka13 thank you so much for reminding me. I used to take melatonin but haven’t for several years. I’ll pick up some tomorrow and give it a try again. I’m always willing to try things, especially more natural ones.
