Members shared a wide range of strategies for falling and staying asleep, with melatonin being the most commonly mentioned remedy, often taken between 5mg and 12mg nightly. Several members shared prescription medications that helped them, including Trazodone, Clonazepam, Baclofen, Gabapentin, and Amitriptyline, while others found relief through CBD oil, medical marijuana, chamomile tea, or magnesium supplements. A recurring theme was the challenge of waking up multiple times at night, often due to pain or bathroom trips, with many members finding comfort in white noise, sleep apps, meditation, and relaxing music.

I use over the counter Unisom. I take two at bedtime and it takes about 20-30 minutes for it to work.
