    I'm sorry I can't help you..I am working on the same problem right now.

    Although, I wake up a little later 6am.

    I go to bed around 11 or 12...wake up 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and then 6 for good.

    They have tried giving me all kinds of meds..and nothing is working.

    Right now I take Melatonin and it works the best because yesterday i did wake up at 4...and I was able to fall back asleep until 6, then 7....

    I have a tremendous amount of stress, afraid of losing home, my income just got stopped....Although I had these sleep problems previously they are 10x worse now. 

    I think if some of my stress would lift I would sleep better.  Do you have alot of stress too?

      Sometimes I find for ME...once I get in a pattern of sleep...good or bad..it sticks for a while....so next time you want to get up at 4...try to stay in bed...deep breaths...and tell yourself to go back to sleep.

      I did that yesterday at 4...and it worked and kept me asleep till 6...it took about 1/2 hour to fall BACK asleep at 4...but apparently I did fall back asleep....then today my waking was at 6am....

      Retrain your body against ITS own will

      This is how I feel from 4am to when I get up I feel like I'm in a day dream but I know I'm not asleep because I hear everything

      I'm thinking whoever prescribed what you are currently on the zop...needs to re evaluate you after you tell them it is not working sad...and maybe try something else.
