Awake at 4:30 this morning and never fell back to sleep. Usually I do fall back to sleep after an hour, but it’s still very disruptive and making me miserable and unproductive in the day.

going to bed earlier doesn’t seem to have an effect.

what can I do to stay asleep - or get back to sleep quicker?

Following as I'm finding myself waking earlier and earlier. Unfortunately I'm one of those people that once my eyes open I can't get back to sleep again and loathe just lying in bed. I have found a 20 minute power nap at lunch helps me get though the day.

HRT - specifically the progesterone.

Some friends also found magnesium worked but it didn't help me.
