you can just take cheap melatonin. don't do weird herbs.
take it every day at the same time a bit before needing to sleep
melatonin is a circadian rhythm regulator so it's important not to use it arbitrarily like a sleeping pill

how did this start?

>>16727829
I can't remember when this all started, all ik is that's how I have been for as long as I can remember. But now it's interfering with my work and sometimes even causes swelling on my eyelid, so I was just concerned.
>>16727828 so 1 tablet should be enough right? I'm unable to get much sunlight either

you better think hard because this isnt normal.

just start trying random supplements like magnesium or vitamin b complex.

I've read that smaller doses for melatonin might be more effective, like around 0.3 mg, and anecdotally I found that amount to work well for me. I use a dropper from Life Extension, just a few drops under the tongue. Also magnesium gylcinate (or glycine in general) might work to relax you and help you fall asleep.

Why not just adjust to your 36hr, or whatever period, is your natural? That's going to work so much better than trying to balance some compound's level in your brain juice.

It seems so. I also never use more than 0.5g, I also tried the slow release ones but I had pretty bad vertigo in the morning.
