I get this a lot. I tend to sleep for between four and six hours, so if I fall asleep at 22:00 I’m awake at 04:00 it earlier.
This isn’t so bad because I’m at work at 06:00 anyway. But it’s no fun if I sleep earlier.
I recently went to doc and said as much. Got prescription for 25 temazepam to take as needed in the AM to get me back to sleep.
I don’t use them much, but knowing they’re there helps a lot.
My other tactics are: jog after work and a few sets on the heavy dumbbells. No food or drink for two hours prior to retiring.
Plus, I keep a bottle of liquid melatonin (sub lingual) and a phased release melatonin tablet (swallowed) by my bed. I’ll otfen have a dose of the liquid melatonin plus a tablet as I lay down and read a book in bed. The liquid acts rapidly, tablet less so.
I find this combination of food restriction, plus excercise, plus melatonin, plus reading novels, gives me waaaaaay better sleep than reading HN all night ;)
