Waking up at 3am

If you try Robert's advice and it's still a problem, try Taurine. Make sure to get the stuff w/o B6 or other supplements added in.

Everything I said back here regarding sleep (and cramps) still holds except I no longer take any in the morning b/c it can be too Anxiolytic for me; now only take 2g at night.

Disturbed sleep during NLP.

[Robert Santana]

So when I opened the thread 2 months ago I did NLP. I then increased the rest days, doing '1 day on - 2 days off' as described in PP.

Two weeks ago I switched to a 4-day-split to further reduce the volume of the squat.
A:
Bench 5RM
Press 5x5 @ 90% of 5RM
B:
Deadlift 5RM
Squat 5x5 @ 90% of 5RM
C:
Press 5RM
Bench 5x5 @ 90% of 5RM
D:
Squat 5RM
Power Clean 5x3

I am training every other day. Not doing any assistance except for Chins on day A.
I will probably even go from 5x5 to 5x4 and see if I can still make progress with one set less.

Numbers:
Deadlift: 340 lbs, Squat: 315 lbs, Bench: 203 lbs, Press: 153 lbs, Clean: 168 lbs

You may be at a point where you need less than 90% of your 5RM on the squat and probably heavier weight than a power clean will provide on the deadlift.
