No, darlindeb, I don't think you're hearing me...my problem isn't that I wake up, it's that I don't fall asleep in the first place because of the PN/foot pain. You can't be experiencing sleep apnea while you're awake, right? Once I do fall asleep I don't have any trouble. There is nothing at all to suggest that I have any breathing problems at all. (I don't know if this is the same as the oxygen level that you're talking about, but if it's the kind they measure with the finger clippy thing, I often read at 100%.)
I'm sorry, I kind of answer more than one person at a time. Oxygen should not be an issue for you, not at 100%, 98% is good. Mine ranges around 92-93%...but, I guess it's not an issue, no one has suggested anything to me about it.

Maybe Sonata would be good for you. Sonata is suppose to put you to sleep quickly, and last for 3-5 hours. Maybe it would help you. You had no luck with melatonin?
