I am a 52-year old male and I have had problems sleeping for most of my adult life. I took Ambien for many years and it helped but the effects wore off after awhile so I stopped taking it. I am now taking Temazepam as well as a few natural supplements that were recommended to me by an acupuncturist: 5-HTP, Melatonin and Theanine.

My problem is that I wake up early. Last night I woke up extra early (around 330am) and couldn't fall back asleep so I feel like a mess today. I increased my dosage of melatonin from 2g to 4g two nights ago. It helped the first night but last night was one of the worst night's sleep I have had in a long time. My "dream" is to be able to get a deep, sound sleep on a consistent basis, something I'm afraid I have not been able to accomplish in a long, long time.

Does anyone know of any natural supplements that have worked for you on a consistent basis?
