- When you take this you MUST turn off all lights
- I have a pair of blue light removing glasses that I then put on to watch TV.

Getting those glasses has been the most meaningful thing I've changed to get me back sorted out. It is still a struggle and I have issues but I come out of them faster now.
What's so different about the strip? I use the pill and it works fine for me. I do the same as you, an hour before bed and by the time that hour is up, I hit the pillow and I'm out.
