Have you ever tried valerian for sleep? I think it works better than melatonin, at least for me. And I have awful sleep problems without meds and sometimes need valerian too. Worth asking your pdoc about. It is available OTC at most any drugstore, Walmart even. It's a very stinky herb (some brands worse than others), but it helps me without leaving me feeling hung over the way a larger dose of trazodone or seroquel would.
