It’s been like 3 weeks now that I’ve woken up at 4am without good reason. Have tried physical activity, melatonin, going to bed earlier… nothing seems to work. Any advice is appreciated.

It’s not the healthiest idea, but I find that I can fall back asleep after a snack and changing my location. If I wake up at 3am, I might eat a bit of cheesecake (or hopefully something not so fattening, but heavy foods work best, for me) and relocate to the sofa. I put on a podcast that I don’t care too much about (comedy or something that isn’t super cerebral) and I’m usually out again.
