I know this isn't a medical forum but wanted to see if others have experienced anything similar. I often struggle with falling asleep and I would more often than not wake up 3-4 times every night to pee. For the past month or so I've been taking 2 Melatonin about 90 minutes before bed, and I've been sleeping way more consistently. I'm falling asleep in probably 1/3 the time and only waking up 1 or 2 times to pee. Probably getting a solid 7.5-8 hours every night. However I am also just not feeling any better rested during the day. For the past few weeks I've still needed a 30 min or hour long nap. Obviously this could have something to do with my training volume which is up a little bit recently but is still fairly controlled around 16-19 hours a week.
Is the Melatonin actually affecting how rested I feel or are there probably other factors in play? Have others had luck reducing reliance on Melatonin in favor of something like non-THC CBD oil or something similar?
