A tablespoon of peanut butter and a glass of milk helps me fall back asleep if I wake up during the night.

What about tooth decay? I wear a invisalign retainer (also had one for my TMJ grinding issues too) so getting up to eat would really be a issue for me LOL! Noticed several others are waking up and eating also....I always thought the more stuff I do the more awake I will become.

I have no solutions to offer the OP....just reading thur as I am looking for help myself. I thought being on HRT after meno would help me with sleep but no it never did. I usually wake up 3 times to pee sometimes even more. I cut off drinking anything hours prior to bedtime so it's not that. I also don't drink things with caffine other then 1 cup of coffee in the morning. So it's not that!

I plan on seeing a sleep doctor in the next few months....the truth for me is that I haven't been sleeping well for yrs. At least 10yrs or more now.

I eat some type of protein about an hour before I go to bed. Most of the time I eat a slice of turkey with a slice of cheese.

Stay away from anything that has caffeine. Yes , that means chocolate too

I never realized that peanut butter is a sleep aid. I eat several spoons of peanut butter throughout the day, I guess that explains why I'm always sleepy during the day.

Right now, I'm watching Hallmarks Christmas in July. The predictably of those movies is relaxing, and I fall asleep easily. I wish they were year round.

Audible books also help. I choose something that'll be read in a monotone voice, like a health book. Audible also has a selection of "sleep" stories. Shockingly, my fave is one read by Nick Jonas. It's a 37 minute baseball story, and I'm always falling asleep before the story ends.
