As I have ramped up yardage I assumed I would sleep more. Unfortunately this has not been the case. I go to sleep very quickly and then between 1-3am(the last two nights it's been 2.15am) I wake up and then can't go back to sleep. I have tried using melatonin with no luck. I am very reluctant to use anything else due to its affect on my swimming. Has anyone else experienced anything similar and if so and thoughts on how to sleep? I am planning on heading to my doctor to see what they recommend.

How long as it been since you ramped up your yardage? Your body still might be adjusting to it. Melatonin also wears off pretty quickly. A time released melatonin might work better. However, melatonin really works best for adjusted sleep schedules like shift work or jet lag. Your body should be producing enough in the middle of the night if you have a regular sleep schedule.
