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).
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.
Cut that down or you're going to fuck yourself up long term.
