For a great nights sleep I take 5 or 10mg amitriptyline 4/5 hours before bedtime. This won't make you tired but once you get to sleep it will put you into that great stage 4. I do take a small dose of xanax .25mg or.5mg to make me fall asleep. If you take the amitriptyline too late in the evening it does tend to leave a hangover. I take it about 12 hours before I want to get up. If i'm getting up at 6am I take it at around 6pm and go to bed around 10pm. This works perfect for me. I used to be a terrible sleeper but now I actually look forward to going to bed.
