3/4mg Melatonin (1mg Soure Naturals, break to get 3/4mg)
500mg Inositol and or 500mg Gaba
Learning what works best for your body.
I've learned to work with these 2 "calmers" so use thru the
day too.
10:30-11PM
500mg Inositol and usually 1 Calms Forte' (homeopathic)
All the above can be adjusted for the person.
This combo gives me 8-10 hrs pretty good sleep.
I've never taken pharma sleep drugs and worked long and hard to get the above combo that works for me.
If I cannot get back to sleep after bathroom run at 3AM or so, I take another Inositol or Calms and this puts me back to sleep good. Lately, I don't need help during middle of night.
Besides Fibro "stuff", OA lives in me bodywide, and a mess from hip replacement in 2010. Left me with nerve damage, IT band damage, shorter leg....good grief.....
Oh, and 2 Advil at 11PM, so no pain during the night.

Since I posted this, I go to sleep later, 11;15 PM so I start the process about 9:30PM..
And find I don't need the Gaba any longer.
Take only 1 ibuprofen, 1 Tylenol at about 11:15PM since the HGH is working so well.
Melatonin is 1/2 to 1mg now with the Inositol.
Go to sleep at 11:15PM, wake up at 8-30AM and then do 30-40 minutes of my stretches and Tapping routine.
It's all good sleep and stretching too.
