Does anyone wake up daily at 3am?

I am, it seems, in your same boat! I can get to sleep with Melatonin plus Celebrex plus l-theanine plus Gabapentin BUT I still wake up and manage to get back to sleep. I have chronic pain / inflammation. My sleep doctor suggests I likely (may) have Fibromyalgia. I am interested if anyone has experience with Cymbalta (Duloxetine) as an alternative to Gabapentin. Thank you.

I do!! Lay for a while then grab my phone cause it does make me tired even though is supposed to be worst thing. I was told by Chinese meds Dr it’s liver related to wake at 3 am

Yes, it happens to many folks. I went to a seminar on sleep and couldn't believe how many ppl wake up at 3 am. We were given a remedy.
Boil a banana, with peel on it and both ends cut off. Wait until the liquid gets a bit murky and thickens. Drink that before bed. It works!

"Boil a banana, with peel on it and both ends cut off. Wait until the liquid gets a bit murky and thickens. Drink that before bed" That I have to try! By "peel on it", do you mean not peeling the banana and just cutting ends off??? How much water when you boil it?

I wake up several times, but 3 am seems to be the most popular time when I can’t get back to sleep. I’ll give the banana a try. But how much water for 1 banana?

Please! For all you claiming to "give the banana a try". Did it work?

Yes I do. I call them sleep headaches. I’ve had them all my life. I was diagnosed with a seizure disorder and put on AEDs, which helped me maintain sleep and it works most nights. I also have a CPAP machine, and multiple sleep studies showed I have obstructive sleep apnea, as I stop breathing over 19 times an hour. I have restless legs too.

Go to your general practitioner doctor and explain your condition and how long it’s been going on. They’ll look into it and help you with a treatment plan. It’s not something you can ignore. Sleep interruption and insomnia causes high blood pressure, obesity, brain and muscle disorders and more. I hope you find a solution

I wake up at 3 and meditate
Then go back to sleep

I have a Spaberry two-person hot tub just off our back door deck. For years now, I have gotten into it and begun the process of shutting off my overactive mind. I look at the skies to see stars (amateur astronomer with several different types of telescopes), pray, sing to myself, and within 15 minutes I am abed and experiencing my 'turnover' twitches. Two, three of those and I turn from my back onto either side, and within a couple of minutes I'm 'gone.' 😀

WRT the Youtube ads interrupting the green noise (or white noise if you prefer that), you can always download the actual video. When downloading Youtube videos, the ads aren't inserted. There are additional advantages to doing it this way, other than skipping ads:
1. once downloaded, you aren't using the internet, so reducing the total download amount on your internet contract, and
2. you don't need the internet to listen to it anymore.
