remedy for waking up too early

I sometimes wake up 4 to 5:30AM. The only thing that works for me is Theanine Serene by Source Naturals. It has Magnesium, GABA, Taurine, L-Theanine, Relora(a blend of some herbs) and Holy Basil Leaf. If I can't go back to sleep after 1/2 hour, I take two of the above pills and will fall back to sleep in 1/2 hour. Since it is a vitamin with a few herbs, it is not addictive like some medicines are. I will sleep a few hours more with it. In the health food store it was expensive but I just ordered it from vitaminlife.com and it was only about $20 for 120 tablets. Real savings! Do I sound like a commercial? Just trying to help you....Chayamalka

For me, it is iodine that works. Before taking it I was an insomniac.

Keep in mind that GABA is not absorbed generally, it doesn't get past the blood brain barrier.  The taurine makes GABA, however, so maybe it helps it get through.  As they say, though, whatever works!

Thanks for the info. I wake up about every 2 hours so I could use this stuff. Of course, I have tried everything except for the holy basil. THat was on my list to try next.
Thanks again. Hope it works for me like it did for you.
