Why is it......

[Walter45Auto]

That a 2 or 3 AM, when I should be going to bed, I'm always wide awake, either browsing this forum, or listening to music on youtube, or both?

Sometimes, as a light sleeper, I'll be up at 3AM, or so, and just bounce around on the forum as a guest, check Drudge, take a leak, and try to go back to sleep.

It works, or it doesn't, than I turn on CNN, and fall asleep in 5 minutes,....

I wake up early anyway, haven't needed an alarm clock for decades.

I like seeing the sunrise.

I hit the forum late night sometimes....I worked graveyard for nearly 20 years (loved it too) and have always been sort of a night-owl. For me it is usually pain-related insomnia or restlessness that keeps me up until 3 or 4 in the AM some nights.

If you have trouble falling asleep, look into Melatonin.

It is a natural hormone in humans and aids in falling asleep. 

The levels of the hormone fall off as  you age and at 40, you body produces half as much as at 18.

The unofficial dosage for a sleep aid is 3mg.  I find 1mg is great for me.

I take one a half hour before I want to sleep and read for a bit.  In about 30 minutes, I really feel like I need to get to sleep.

If I wake in the middle of the night, I'll take another.  They do make a time release tablet, if that is a common occurrence.

I wake with absolutely no drugged feeling  as I would get with the usual sleep aid like sominex, or whatever is sold these days.

It's worth a try.
