Looking for something to help with getting back off to sleep when abruptly woken In the night. Got a 1 year old who insists on waking up between 1-3am every night . No dummy and takes FOREVER to finally get back off, by which point I am fully awake. Little bastards cute AF but barely getting any sleep because of it and starting to impact
My day.

I don't have a kid but I have the same problem, if I wake up in the night I can't get back to sleep for 2/3 hours at least, if anyone's got any suggestions.

Apart from benzos which I wouldn't recommend for you lads, there's really only things like zopiclone/mirtazapine to help you sleep and I think they're both steps too far in the direction you're wanting.
Knock one out or make yourself cry, solid winners of sleep.

100% get some ZMA, available everywhere and is absolutely great for this. Sleep is much better and when I wake up during the night I go back to sleep almost immediately.
Only side effect is quite intense dreams if you take the full dose (the one I’ve got at the moment recommends 3 pills but I take 2).

Magnesium Glycinate > Citrate for sleep, partnering it with Glycine helps too.

With melatonin I just use it to regulate my sleeping patterns when theyre off, usually Sunday night tbh. Not really recommended for constant use.
L-Theanine is also a good option to use with it, along with magnesium glycinate as somebody said on the last page
