... I still get up extremely early. This has been going on for the past two weeks. I.E. if I went to bed at 1am I would wake up between 4 & 6am. I always have done this but would fall right back to sleep. Now that doesn't happen anymore. I wake up and can't go back to sleep and I seem to have a lot more nervous energy. The only thing I can think is that I've been talking to this girl and she has really peaked my interest. I take 50mg of trazadone nightly which is enough to put me asleep, but not to where I stay asleep

Just go with your anxiety, over time, your sleep will go back to normal.

Even though it wakes me up after just 4 hours of sleep and I can't get back too sleep. Woke up at 2am and I have so much energy right now it is ridiculous.

Do not fight the energy, just go with it. Are you able to get back to sleep?

Nope, as soon as I wake up im up for good. It feels like my body wants to sleep, but my wind won't let me. So im stuck on cusp of sleep.

When you have this nervous energy, have you ever taken the time to write down what your mind's running on about? It doesn't just have to be writing, you can draw, craft, play an instrument etc.. I suffer with the same problem and while it takes a good few hours to be able to fall asleep again, if I get my thoughts out; whether it be on here, in my journal, lyrics or a drawing; I can usually relax at the very least and maybe sleep for another hour (I have insomnia as is, so an hour is a godsend to me).
Before I jot down my thoughts, I sometimes do a few push ups, sit ups, take a walk or some kind of exercise. Just to get the nervous energy released from the rest of my body, as well. It doesn't have to be a vigorous thirty minute exercise; just ten minutes of doing the same thing usually gets it out along with a short walk to the end of my drive way.
