I used to get the morning hangover tiredness but not really anymore. Not sure if it goes away for everyone, but it did for me.CharlieBrown said:

Your body takes time to get used to stuff, probably need to give it a couple weeks. Since the Trazadone has score marks in it, you could split one of the 25mg to 12.5mg and take that as your 2nd dose. Then hopefully you wake up less groggy. But I would give each dose 2 weeks to see how your body reacts to it. Feeling groggy sux, I get it. But the trade off, for a good nights sleep? I'd take the grogginess, happily for consisent 6-8 hours of sleep!CharlieBrown said:
My apologize....we're already splitting the 50mg to 25mg.RubbaDubba1 said:
I got this from Google.......
Yes, trazodone frequently causes next-day grogginess, drowsiness, or a "hangover" effect, with over 40% of users in some reports experiencing sleepiness. This sedation is the most common side effect when used for insomnia. The intensity depends on dosage and metabolism, with potential symptoms including dizziness, reduced alertness, and persistent fatigue.

I think I will split the 25mg once more to 12.5mg and see how it goes.
Thank you for all your advice
I have to commit to taking Melatonin at 9pm to make sure I sleep early. Honestly, I think there is so much going on my life and work that my brain has a hard time not thinking about it all. Oh, I also black out EVERY light in the room, literally everything even the little light on the TV that tells you it's off (why the hell do I need that light anyways lol) and I also play some rain sounds...I like to think it helps me get deeper sleep but I definitely know it's a cue for my brain to get into sleep mode.
I have OSA and am a light sleeper so not fun. I'm doing therapy for OSA, but have to wear earplugs and an eye mask. Have gotten better non-disturbed sleep but still not a solid 8hrs. I vary 6.5-7.5 of sleep. OURA rings make it worse because you think slept longer than it tells you.
My sleep routine is not the best. Will dabble with some of the stuff you guys mentioned here!

I had to google OSA. I don't snore at all. And in my mind I also thought it was the over-weight or old guys who snore.Loscar said:
NO !! My ex-wife; 5'3" Asian - 118lbs, snored like a bear....lol
But, with that said it started to get milder and less frequent over several years.
I rarely hear her snore now. (Yes ex-wife...and yes, still....you now
)
Trazadone isn’t. Doesn’t work for everybody. Does for me. Some times I take it with a Lunesta. But traz doesn’t work for everybody. I have had sleeping problems for 30 years. I have tried everything under the sun and it is all tangential effect if any, but my sleep stack…. Beta, saffron, l-t, magnesium g, ashwag, Val root, and a glass of tart juice and club soda…. I take that a hour before bed and some times, feel tired and know I will fall asleep. Other times, I have to go to the traz and possibly Lunesta. It has at least cured me from being in bed for 7-8 hours and sleeping 3-4 hours.CharlieBrown said:I'm not a night owl, but I haven't slept well in 3 years.
My doctor won't give me meds because they're all addictive.
I just found out about DSIP peptide.
And I already ordered my Mots-C last week..
I'm in AWW from the things I've learned in this forum in such a short time.Gt3294a said:
No amount of research and YouTube videos could compare.
Now, just to be on the silly side of things for a moment. I remember when I was in my 20's and I would fall asleep right after having sex with my wife
Lifelong insomniac here, counting half a century. Partly why I started dabbling in this scene. What has worked for me is carb loading with high dose b3 - stopped because people in my family have died from diabetes and I'm trying not to die too soon. Glycine and l-theanine seemed to work, but moderately. Trazodone gave me the most horrific nightmares. Magnesium glycinate on its own did nothing, but paired with melatonin and valerian, I can actually sleep, not just fall asleep.
I did find ipa to be very effective for deep sleep, but it made me hungry all the time despite being on a moderate dose of glp-1. I gained a lot of weight while on it despite not increasing my calories. I'm like a robot with food - I eat the same exact thing every single day and don't mind it at all. Switched to HGH and lost all the weight I gained on ipa, but it does not help me sleep the way ipa does.
Currently on my first cycle of Epitalon (5mg/day) - maybe this will finally reset my broken sleep cycle.
