Hi I’m new to this community. I can fall asleep and maybe sleep a few hours then I’m wide awake. Any tips out there to stay asleep?

Try OTC Unisom (doxalamine version). It is an old antihistamine that I have used even with other drugs. It helps sort of like benedryl in making you more sleepy and extending your sleep time.
