Costello, how much fish oil as well as vitamin E are you taking?

I take 2,126mg of molecularly distilled fish oil (EPA 800mg; DHA 400mg). I'm thinking if vitamin E ends up working for you perhaps it could work for me too, but I don't know of a dosage to start. I've found that getting 9 hours of sleep is optimal for me but for the most part I don't always get that, but somewhere between 5-8 hours a night. BTW, I'm no longer relying on melatonin to maintain my sleep but just to take it prophylactically being that melatonin declines with age (I'm 49). Initially, it seemed to have worked but have come to the conclusion that it was just a placebo effect so I'm back to square one with looking for ways of getting a good night's sleep. The other option for me (which I'm not too keen on) is increasing my antipsychotic. I believe I'm fairly stable - just that my sleep really sucks.
