Molly,


Personally, I woudl play it safe and wait. melatonin typically helps people to *fall* asleep, not to stay asleep, and it sounds like staying asleep is the problem here.


I am wondering if he still has some discomfort after he surgery and that is waking him up? Has the doc said if it is OK to give him some advil before bed? Maybe that will help.
