I cannot stay asleep and it's killing me

I've now been on HRT since December and testosterone added since February and my sleep, if anything, has got worse.

I fall asleep fine but cannot stay asleep. I sleep exactly 5 hours - you could set a clock by it - and then I'm awake.

I'm fucking up at work, I'm falling asleep at my desk, I fall asleep on the train. I cannot stay awake I am so tired. I'm worried I'm going to lose my job.

I've tried magnesium, CBD, L theanine, Nytol and god knows what else. I can't take prescription stuff for too long and when I stop, the sleep goes back the way it was.

If anyone has a similar sleep pattern, have they found a way to fix it? I am absolutely desperate now

@Dailyprocrastinator, did you take one or two tablets? I’ve ordered them just now!
