In bed at 11:00 pm, wake up fully rested and alert between 3:00 am and 4:00 am and can't get back to sleep. I can find no resources anywhere. Suggestions or recommendations. Considering I work from 8:00 am until 9:00 pm frequetly it is a real problem.I have been taking Parnate off and on for 10 years. Currently take 80mg daily. I have had great results with Trazodone for sleep (150mg). Good luck.
