That for me is when brain is inflamed. I have to lower any new meds. Any new teas or food. If I cannot find the culprit, then antimflamtories do the trick ( advil, Celebrex....)
Is it also getting worse after sleep or is it independend from sleep?

@alldayeveryday @Hope78 @soxfanSoxfan, I know exactly what you mean. It also leaves me completely useless the whole day until late in the night, when my system finally wakes up
This is so far beyond a good idea that I don't know where to start. Melatonin is, after all, a hormone, and screwing with Mother Nature never ends particularly well. I take 1.5 mgs of melatonin at night to boost my odds of sleep, and it usually helps, except when it doesn't. I also use magnesium gylcinate and Vit C in small doses thru-out the day, and in a larger dose at night. When all else fails and I'm desperate, I take abt 1/4 of a Unisom tablet and that's almost always the magic bullet.I once took a monster dose melatonin
I take trazadone on and off. I try to get off it as much as I can, if I start waking up more than twice in a night then I restart, then I will stop and check if I am able to get off it so often. So I don't stay on it permanently, I try to take as little pills as possible to avoid side affects or randon symtptoms I do not know where they come from.@Seven7 What did you take? And why did you stop taking it if it helped you getting restorative sleep?
