For the past 2 months after a bout of flu, my sleep has reduced to 4-5 hours. There is no obvious reason. No increase in stress, no decrease in physical activity. Meditation/relaxation music/stretching all are good and I do fall bit drowsy but again wake up in the midde of the night. I also do not experience racing mind or any kind of anxiety. I sleep at 11 and end up waking up 5 am if less sleep else at 6:30 which is good and rejuvenating.
Alprazolam 0.25 at night is good enough to give me restful sleep. But I was hoping for some less addictive and longer term. I tried 5HTP (which I had used during the peak time of pain) but it is not helping. Chamomile / valerian already tried.
Is there any else that can be tried?

Re: Any supplement for sleeping
Sleep Aid (doxylamine succinate) is excellent
