Kavinace is really expensive but I like the fact that it is GABA that actually works (normal and pharmagaba have failed me). Have you found improvement in the area of multiple awakenings? That is my worst area. With melatonin sublingual I somewhat have fixed sleep onset insomnia but I still wake up every 3 or 2 hours, and sometimes it is impossible to get to sleep again.
You are clever to be suspicious of the NB dogma... I speak from experience.
