Try 5-HTP, Glycine: 2 amino acids have been shown to improve quality of sleep (more deep sleep and less light sleep) and reduce waking after falling asleep: 5-Hydroxytryptophan (5-HTP) 100-300 mg and Glycine 3000 mg. Both are safe and well-tolerated. See http://tinyurl.com/letdxys and http://www.holistic-online.com/remedies/sleep/sleep_ins_melatonin-and-5htp.htm

If your problem is more early awakening with difficulty falling back to sleep it suggest underlying depression as the cause.
