- With melatonin make sure you are using correctly. Take it about an hour before bed and then make sure you turn off all the lights. If you watch TV to relax than get a pair of glasses that cut blue light out. Otherwise you are sending your brain a confusing message about if it's time to rest or not. Do not take melatonin and then be on your phone scrolling

Thanks, insomnia is the absolute worst.
I've tried Zopiclone and lemorexant and both have had virtually zero success. I've heard that Melatonin strips could be effective so I will attempt to try those. I'm usually pretty good at taking it about an hour to hour and a half before bed.
I haven't tried the glasses for blue light so that's something to add to the list. I've been better about no screen time before bed but practicing better sleep hygiene could be improved on my end.
