Thanks, I use Melatonin about half the time. It makes me sleepy but I seem to spend about the same amount of the night awake with or without it. Still experimenting with it. REM and Deep sleep both lacking a bit lately.
I have the wake up at night problem as well. I’ve started taking melatonin with mixed results
I use Melatonin maybe twice a week, the rest of the week I use CBD gummies or Dr. Teal's sleep spray (I spray it on my pillow), or nothing at all. Greenroads has gummies specifically for sleep and no you don't get high and no they are not addictive! I do not mix any of these, it's one or the other and some nites I don't take anything. I use the Melatonin gummies or sometimes the liquid, with the Melatonin gummies, I take one gummy and cut it in half, I take the first half about 15 minutes before bed and leave the other half on the night table for when I wake up in the middle of the nite to go to the bathroom, I take that half on the way to the bathroom!

You can get the sleep spray at Walmart.
Melatonin is used in combating vaxx covid, has many good affects.
I exercise at 10 PM for 20-25 minutes, then take a warm shower, and sleep comes quickly. If still have trouble falling asleep, I drink half a cup of warmed up in microwave milk with half teaspoon of sugar added. That always works. At age 84, have no health issues, only Rx is 10 mg Lisinopril (I eat too much salty pizza).
Try time released melatonin. Helps me most nights.
I can’t take Melatonin. It gives me the WORST nightmares! Ugh!
I have found that Diphenhydramine, 50mg works great for me. It’s the same stuff they put in Ny-Quil and the like to make you sleepy...without the decongestant and other ‘stuff.’
No side effects; I’ve been taking it for years, as needed.
It’s available at Walmart and Walgreen’s or on-line.
