This happens to me every night. I usually go to bed around 10:00 or 10:30 and can get to sleep pretty quickly. Then somewhere around 2:30 to 3:30 I wake up and can't get back to sleep. It usually takes over an hour or more. When I do get back it's not deep sleep. When I get up and during the day I don't really get tired or sleepy so I guess that's good.
Things I've tried:
Magnesium glycinate 400 mg right before bed. (i think this helps me get to sleep)
Milk with sugar and salt.
Milk with gelatin.
Orange juice with salt. (Last night I got up and had some OJ at 3am.)
Benadryl (this usually works some, but I still wake up, but then can get back to sleep quicker. I do not want to take sleep aids every night)
Meditation and various breathing techniques
I'm also a mouth breather due to not so clear nasal airways.
Anyone have any tricks or tips I can add to this list to try?
