Starting TRT Soon

I could never get consistent sleep when I was really low carb. Your sleep episodes sound like low blood sugar episodes. You can try a large spoonful of glycine before you sleep, or possibly a spoonful of quality honey (e.g. buckwheat). I do use melatonin but that will wear of after a few hours and I doubt if it would override a cortisol spike which is the mechanism IIRC by which your body calls for more blood sugar. If you are active, ultra-low carb may not be necessary and bumping up the carbs a little may resolve your sleep issues.

I wish it was. I almost always have been low carb, was off of it for about 6 months. I wish that is why I'm waking up.
