I have a pretty easy time falling asleep at night but when I wake up in the middle of the night, I have a REALLY hard time going back to sleep. I just lie there, so exhausted, but can't go back to sleep...

Does anyone have any homeopathic or herbal remedies? I have melatonin but it hasn't worked. Any suggestions would be MUCH appreciated!

I don't know if this will help. When this happens to me, I listen to my breathing, and I say to myself: in breath, out breath. I keep this up until I fall back asleep. As long as I concentrate only on the breathing, my mind cannot wander around and find things to think about which keep me awake. When my mind does wander, I say to myself: It is the nature of my mind to wander. And then I gently guide myself back to the breathing.
