The problem which you have is largely sleep maintenance Insomnia. Since you do not have a significant anxiety component, I don't see why you should continue on Larpose. However, you have got addicted to it over the years. Try following steps:-
1. Stop Larpose. Instead take Zolfresh 10 mg at bed time daily to start with. Also take Tab. Eternex or Meloset (Melatinin 3 mg one tablet along with Zolfresh). Melatinin is like a vitamin and sold over the counter in US and now easily available here. The drugs should be tapered off over 4-6 weeks.
2. Observe sleep hygiene precautions i.e. no tea or coffee after 5:00 pm, regular walk in the evening daily. Avoid TV or loud music once you switch off the light at bedtime, don't apply your mind to planning or to the day's events etc. once you retire to bed. Same applies if you wake up in the middle of the night or early morning. You could also try switching your bed room for a few days to break the monotony.
