Zeugma -
Hi! Thanks for your post on Lex and sleep. I'm trying to understand how it all works. Insomnia is my only lingering side effect - I wake up 2 or 3 times per night and am wide awake between 3am & 4am. I'm afraid it's becoming a habit now!
Based on what you said, if I take melatonin, will that speed up my entrance into REM sleep do you think? 3 mg of melatonin only last me til about 3 or 4am, but taking 3mg again at 3am makes it impossible for me to get up at 7am!
I'm not ready to take sleeping pills yet, but wonder if I can do something with melatonin to help, since it does get me to sleep initially. Any thoughts?
Thank you!
~ Lynne
