    Working out helps a bunch.

    Medication:

    Diphenhydramine 50mg.

    Then diphenhydramine + Melatonin (20mg) (if I want to be dead asleep but will be groggy in the morning. Only used as last resort).

      Melatonin (20mg)

      That’s a lot of melatonin for one dose.

        Yeah, it works for me. That was after trial and error. I used to take it daily when I had really bad sleep issues. Now it’s only if I want 100% sure thing to be dead asleep. Probably why I get groggy from it the next day.
