UPDATE:
My sleep doctor recommended taking Trazodone every night (50 mg) so I've been doing that the past 3 weeks. It does seem to help but when I stopped taking it for one night the insomnia came back. Don't really want to take a drug for an extended period of time. I'm considering taking your CBT course Martin.
Hi Martin,
The 2-week melatonin/7hour regimen was ok, but I went back to my normal rotuine last night and I feel pretty tired today. Even throughout the 2 weeks I still woke up at brief points during the night (likely between 3 and 4), so I don't know how to fix that. Pretty frustrating.

I spoke to a nurse at the Cornell Sleep Center and she told me I don't need a sleep study for this. Instead she recommended a 2-week “study” where I take Melatonin 3-4 hours before bed and only sleep a MAXIMUM of 7 hours a night (waking up at the same time each day is possible).
I guess I'll give it a shot. She said I could take the Melatonin and ashwaghanda together but I'm a little iffy on that. Does anybody here do that?
Hi Martin,
Thanks for the reply. Nothing different has happened in the past 6 weeks so I'm really at a loss here. I was thinking that the sleep study could maybe shine some light on this.
I've gone to such measures as cleaning mold off my window just in case that was triggering it. I figured it might be environmental but who knows.
