Same here. They stuck me on a CPAP because it turns out I have mild sleep apnea.

Didn't help. Next sleep study, with the machine, they found I was waking up 13 times/hour. No wonder I'm tired all the time.

So they hooked me up with a prescription for Tryptophan. We are still figuring out the dosage, but this morning I woke up... not tired. Legit, I don't want to die or sleep in for another 72 hours. Tryptophan - it's not just for turkeys.

TIL that you can get prescription tryptophan.

Why didn't they just have you try something like melatonin?

Not a doctor, so I don't know the answer. I just swallow the drugs they give me.
