Summary
A person with broken sleep, waking in the early hours and needing to urinate, said they could not make it through a night. Gabapentin worked intermittently but left them dragging until 10-11am the next day; doxepin, melatonin, valerian, kava kava and passion flower extract did nothing. In recovery from addiction, they refused benzodiazepines and were weighing dual orexin antagonists. They said none of these helped them sleep through the night.
