Just read through quickly again and noticed that someone mentioned melatonin. I am not an advocate of this for regular use for the following reason: It's a hormone. It's not regulated by the FDA, and if you take it too much, your body stops producing its own and that will ruin your sleep even more. I keep it on hand for those especially rough nights, but by no means take it often. And another thing, it usually comes in 3mg tablets which is way more than a person actually needs. Even 1mg is more than enough, the rest is generally extra. If you plan on taking it long term, discuss it with a doctor first and really do your research!
