[In awe of TV]

I too am a very light, poor sleeper. I was in the habit of taking a handful of melatonin before bedtime and even that wasn't working and I don't think it was very good for me either.

What did help me tremendously, and I'm off the melatonin completely, is an exercise of deep breathing. While you are relaxing in bed, very slowly inhale until your lungs are full, hold it for a few seconds and very very slowly exhale until your lungs are empty. Do this about 5-10 times until you are completely relaxed. If I wake up in the middle of the night, I repeat the exercise and fall to sleep quickly.

It's so frustrating to not be able to stay asleep. I really hope this technique helps, it won't hurt to try it. Peace.
