Tired of waking up at 2am..Sonata

@granny55 @lisalucier I too wish I could get some relief! Thankfully it no longer happens nightly, only when I am worried or anxious about something specific. We are visiting our son and despite the bed being very comfortable, I have been having trouble sleeping. I have taken 1/2 of a Benadryl a few nights and that helps me fall asleep but I do wake at around 4:00 and have a lot of trouble falling asleep again.
I very occasionally take a lorazepam and that does help a lot. My doctor gives me an Rx for 10, about once a year, so it does have to be very occasionally.
I am also drinking chamomile tea before bed. I am not sure if it really helps or if it’s the placebo effect.
If you do find a good solution I would love to hear it. There are all kinds of suggestions around but they have not been helpful to me.

Thank you JK I feel your concern on sleepless nights I am seeing a gyn on Monday and they are proponents of bio identical hormones. If I could get progesterone in a very low dose I believe it will help. It’s anxiety for me that keeps me up. I fall asleep but some nights I wake up 3-4 times to go to the bathroom. I walk 5 miles a day so I’m tired when I go to bed but just can’t stay asleep. Just frustrating.
