Thank you, Brego. You definitely know what I'm talking about. And I know what you're talking about. I wish professionals in healthcare would better understand that sleep disorders this severe can make a satisfying life impossible.
I am taking melatonin 10 mg every evening. Here's what I just found to work the best: my provider prescribes Baclofen 3 times per day for back pain. It's a muscle relaxer. It wasn't helping my back. However, if I take 3 Baclofen tablets together in the eve, they work as a fairly decent sleeping pill. So that's what I'm doing. Of course, I'm not going to tell this to the prescriber.
