Depression, insomnia: I understand your concern. Thank you for informing about Depression and EKG Stress Test. If you are waking up feeling sad and brooding, it is due to depression. Stresses of relationship, marriage, parenting, unresolved feelings of worry, fear, hurt, resentment and guilt; separation, and work can cause depression. Melatonin can help insomnia See psychiatrist for Diagnosis, Therapy, Medication.

One good option: is sublingual melatonin. See that you suffer from melatonin. If depression is not adequately treated - that may be a cause for insomnia. Please discuss with your prescribing provider.
