Facebook Live with Dr Rangan Chatterjee at 2:30pm Friday 5 January

Pretty much the same here. Cant remember the last full nights sleep. If i dont go to bed later than about 10.30pm i go to sleep fairly quickly, but then wake about 12.30, 2 am, 3.45, 5 am etc etc. So no longer than about 90 minutes at a time.
I too use zopiclone to help, they work but i still wake early. i am only given 14 at a time so try to conserve them.
If i go to bed later than 11 pm i can lay awake for hours, last night it was 3 hours awake followed by stop start dozing.
Are there any tablets which i could take on a more regular basis but which are perhaps not as strong or addictive as zopicline, or does it matter if i become a little addicted at this stage in my life - late sixties.
I worry that i have so little quality sleep i am damaging my health.
Help please!

Oooh, the lovely Dr Chatterjee! I really enjoy watching your programmes. I hopefully won't be awake to join the FB live on 5 January (I'm on hols in Oz and it'll be 1.30am) but I'm interested in hearing your comments on sleep, specifically on how to achieve a good night's kip without resorting to the dreaded zoplicone which I do very occasionally when really stressed. I used to sleep like a log but since being widowed 5 years ago, it has evaded me.
