@hckynut @Drythe  You both have my utmost respect working third shifts.  I appreciate your input regarding a Sleep Study and will be looking into it, thank you!

GABA a gives me nausea and a headache as does 5HTP and L theanine. Our receptor cells for this stuff are in our intestines. I can take Ltrytophan and gabapentin (prescription) which do not do the nausea but can give me the headache. All of these work in the brain. You want to only take 1 mg of melatonin so read the label of any combo supplement. You can purchase these separate and start with the lowest dose of GABA you can find. Go to bed early, take this stuff about an hour before you want to sleep. Put away your computer, phone, tablet, TV early as the blue light blocks melatonin production. Exercise in the morning and if you can, get outside in the sun in the morning. Hope you find an answer that works. I am using an herbal supplement that helps me stay asleep, Deep Sleep by Herbs, Etc. I do take it with 1 mg of melatonin but I'd suggest you go slow and try one thing at a time. Get on a non-google search engine like duck duck go and research for yourself. Goggle censors a lot of natural healing websites so you can't find much about various non prescription products. Lastly, I have read that sleep cycles go in two hours so if you wake up it can take two hours for that sleep cycle to come back. Get the calm app and try listening to that or talk radio or soft music when you wake up. It shifts your brain out of fretting mode. I also like Whole Tones music and sleep music. It takes time to train the brain to hear the music or the talking on the radio and automatically go back into sleep mode. Try not to nap. If you are sleepy at 8 or 9 pm, go to sleep then. Let your body do it's normal natural thing. Fighting early sleep cycle messes with your melatonin production.
