From past two months I wake up after 5 hours of sleep and after that unable to fall sleep again. I did various test Thyroid, creatine and sugar test all turn out to be normal. Currently I am taking supracal pro tablets. My doctor suggested me this as lifestyle disorder and prescribed Etizolam 0.5 mg and zincovit tablets however I don't want to take sleeping pills as I heard it had lots of side effects. Please advise.
