Manage to get to sleep about 11.30pm wake 2.30am, no more for the last 3 months

Manage to get to sleep about 11.30pm wake 2.30am, no more for the last 3 months, I am worn out, by the way I am 86 years of age. Gp has tried Melatonin that made no difference and made me muzzy headed in the morning, then tried Daridorexant same result as melatonin, is now going to try me on Zopiclone for 5 Days but no more after that. Help! if they work what do I do after 5 days! Any advice welcome, I will try anything to have a good nights sleep.

  1. My heart goes out to you, . Hopefully, this is a pattern that can be "reset" by the Zopiclone and not health condition brought on by age. We are not medical experts, but the fact that the onset was sudden and that the hours of sleep are the same each night makes me wonder if something in your environment, diet or stress levels has changed.
    If Zopiclone is not effective, you might want to consider seeing a sleep specialist. Sleep specialists might be more familiar with your situation, since sleep is their only focus, and might have other treatment options to offer.
    I hope this helps. Please keep us posted. I'll be thinking of you.
