I have no problem going to sleep but do wake up after a couple of hours and then find it difficult to go back, my mind starts going!! I would love to sleep longer, I feel quite exhausted with lack of sleep. I average about 5 hours a night, broken sleep.

This is a very common problem. Do you always wake at the same time and if so, what time?

Firstly, I would take Dormesan, Vogel's natural sleep aid. It has been shown to help people both get to sleep, and stay asleep. You could take it before bed, or when you wake, or both.

There are lots of issues that contribute to early morning waking, such as: stress; unstable blood sugar levels; late night meals, etc. I discuss all this in my blog post 'Waking at 3am?',  so suggest you follow the recommendations in here as well if it is between 1-3am you are waking.

If you have any more questions, please let me know. I hope that this helps,

Amy
