Tired of waking up at 2am..Sonata

I was diagnosed with Sleep Apnea after my Stroke in 2001! I never heard of Sleep Apnea, nor did I understand what it meant in terms of my health! I also sleep with a full face mask and take 5mgs of Melatonin nightly! I also used to wake up around 2-30a.m., to go to the bathroom; however the combination of the Melatonin and my CPAP machine help tremendously! I therefore no longer feel so exhausted at least in the mornings! I also took Benadryl to help bring on sleep before being treated with my CPAP machine! I would try 5 mgs of Melatonin and see if it actually makes any difference! I would, however speak with your Physician before changing anything!

@rachelanne I have read that more than 3 mg is very apt to cause nightmares, so it really can be best to start at a lower dose. I even know people who find that just 1 mg gives them enough help. I generally do 3mg when I use it and that usually gives me enough help.
