Glycine CAUSES me and some other people to wake up after 3 hours. It improves the first few hours of sleep for us then ruins the rest of the night. Make sure you're not taking it on faith and assuming it's benign. I never found what causes this.
Honey is about the only thing that's usually safe to consume before bed. However you should heat it up in some water (don't heat up the honey, just put it in hot water) and ditch the other foods (yogurt), and not eat 3-5 hours of anything else before bed, especially protein. It's better to take a pure cal/mag supplement at night than try to eat dairy. Check Ca/Mg/K/Na intake.
You could ask for gabapentin, pregabalin or baclofen as quick measure but you might have to make ***t up to get the prescription (research indications beforehand).
