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.

Thanks.

I have an abundant supply of OTC and prescription (Lunesta, Ambien, etc) sleeping pills, but shy away from taking them due to the "hit by a bus" feeling the next day. Plus I don't want to become dependent on them.

I have no life  ;D

That's my version of your 5 PM, I had just got home and was having supper to me it was Monday evening  ;D.

Thanks Tom.
I work a lot of long strange hours.  There are times when 3:00 or 4:00 a.m. is the same as others 6:00 p.m.  I can't get some people to understand that.  Especially relatives and supervisors that call at 7:30 a.m. when I got home from work at o'late thirty.  If they haven't worked those kind of hours it seems they can't comprehend it.  I pay them back though.  I just call them back in the middle of their night.

NP..hope it works for you.

It is also supposed to help recover from Jet Lag, but I've never had the need to try it.  IIRC, the procedure varied depending upon which direction you travel.   So, if you have the need, you might want to check on that also.

"Good intentions will always be pleaded for every assumption of authority. It is hardly too strong to say that the Constitution was made to guard the people against the dangers of good intentions. There are men in all ages who mean to govern well, but they mean to govern. They promise to be good masters, but they mean to be masters."

Dial *67 and your number won't show up on caller ID.  ;) 
""It may be laid down as a primary position, and the basis of our system, that every Citizen who enjoys the protection of a free Government, owes not only a proportion of his property, but even his personal services to the defence of it, and consequently that the Citizens of America (with a few legal and official exceptions) from 18 to 50 Years of Age should be borne on the Militia Rolls, provided with uniform Arms, and so far accustomed to the use of them, that the Total strength of the Country might be called forth at a Short Notice on any very interesting Emergency." - George Washington.
