I take Melatonin, Nytol and Seriphos to help me get to sleep at night (suffer from high nightime cortisol) but I am finding that I am waking up around 1am, and then waking at least once an hour from then until 4/5am. When I take my Pregablin tablet I do tend to get a better sleep, but I have been advised to come right off that tablet due to issues I am having with blood pressure etc.
Seeing you wake up, you could try a "slow release" form of Melatonin on top of the Melatonin you already take to get to sleep. (I experimented with the different Melatonin forms but as I had huge issue getting to sleep rather then staying asleep, slow release Melatonin wasn't helpful in my case though normal kind was).

You could try the over the counter sleep aid doxylamine succinate .. I used to take a quarter or less (a crumb) of a 25mg tablet of it for sleep. (beware thou that one can build up a tolerance to this within weeks so it can stop working so its bet only to take a couple of times per week).
