So it seems like the first step would be to attempt to correct my sleeping patterns, and potentially supplement with melatonin.

Interesting, multiple posters commented about having nightmares/night terrors. People have told me that melatonin mixed with alcohol will give you some of the trippiest, freaky dreams.

I haven't been able to sleep much lately.

I've tried some melatonin from in doses of 3, 6, and 9 mg. it relaxes me for about an hour but then I wake up.

Hence I'm posting on RVF at 3:30 in the AM.

Melatonin will only help you slightly, it's more important to figure out why you're waking up and solve the root cause.

Stress
Light
Temperature
Noise
Pre-bed routine
etc.

Hey Rex, try this stuff:

It should also go without saying, my friend "Mary Jane" helps me get to sleep also. Not a lot is needed, only a small amount.

Thanks...maybe I should look into that GABA.

I took melatonin a few times and while it helped me get to sleep, I had some dumb dreams where I knew I was dreaming. That never happened to me before I took it and it hasn't happened since I quit taking it. It makes me wonder just how deep melatonin-aided sleep is.
