I have a lot of trouble with sleeping. I can get to sleep within an hour usually. But then i wake up alot during the night. sometimes upward to 10-20 times. i do fall right back to sleep usually but i feel it effects my sleep. what can i do about waking up so damn much??
Biotest ZMA and MELATONIN from any drug store.
Just be careful with the ZMA. I love the stuff, but I wake up a bit more when I am taking it and others have said the same. I sleep deeper, but wake up a bit more.
Everybody is different on ZMA so give it a try but just keep in mind it might not make you sleep the whole night through.
You probably should just get checked out at a sleep clinic.

How effective is the melatonin? I know someone that tried even the undercounter melatonin and didn’t notice it.
My problem with sleeping is not being able to get to sleep until really late. I take ZMA and like it because I feel really good in the morning when I get a decent amount of rest, but some nights I just can’t get to sleep until like 4am.

Question: Do you watch TV or sit at the computer at night? Do you have a lot of lights on?

There’s probably your problem. I used to have the same issue. Some of us are just more sensitive to direct light at night then others because of our genetics.
This is a God-send for information about sleep regulation:
