You fall asleep fine. No trouble there. But then, like clockwork, you’re wide awake between 2 and 4 AM. Mind racing. Heart beating a little faster than it should. Maybe you feel slightly anxious, though nothing’s actually wrong. Your doctor might call this insomnia. Maybe they suggested melatonin or Ambien. But here’s what they probably
