What are some solutions for waking up after falling asleep?

It seems the last few months, a few minutes after I fall asleep, I wake back up. Then it takes a while to fall back asleep again. It seems to happen every night now. I don't feel any jerks or spasms when it happens, I just wake up. Thanks!

Melatonin... 3 mg I think is the standard dose.

It is all natural, sold where vitamins are sold (drug store, etc) and was recommended to me by a doc. Also, cut back the caffeine and don't work out within 3 hours of bed time.

It works for me :) maybe it can help you to! Rated: +1Vote for this!

loyaldude	Posted Jul 5th, 2009 at 6:34PM Try to exercise before bed time so that you are a bit tired physically. If this doesn't work you will need to learn how to sleep and fall back to sleep. Remove all stress thoughts before sleeping might help. Good Luck. Rated: +1Vote for this!
