Any real solutions for Finasteride-induced sleep issues? Finasteride is messing up with my sleep

I’ve been taking Finasteride for the past 3 months and haven’t experienced any major side effects except for sleep problems. My sleep quality has dropped significantly, I keep waking up after 3–4 hours and feel groggy in the morning.

I’m not planning to stop Finasteride, so please don’t suggest that—my hair is too important to me. What I am looking for is a real, effective solution. Did any of you face similar sleep issues and found a way to fix it?

Did you take any sleep medication, supplements, or follow a routine that actually helped?

When I was on duta my sleep was horrible for 5 months then it passed. Just wait it out or get on sleeping meds. I switched to topical finasteride instead and got on a sleeping med. finasteride blocks allopregnanolone. A neurosteroid which is good for sleep.

Ok, can working out can help in increase allopregnanolene levels?

Finas have a link with neurotransmisors involucrated in sleep, take care
And stress is not a good choice in hairloss, in this case over all scalp hairs

What is the solution for this? Any proven supplement i can take to save my neurotransmittors
Take PEA and Gaba and try melatonin 2mg + magnesium before bed for help to sleep
