Melatonin can be effective, but I find I sleep consciously awake on that. Magnesium for the win.

Agreed, although there are many different types of magnesium and some of them can be quite hard on you. Magnesium Glycinate works well for me and I've read that threonate is the form of magnesium that crosses the blood-brain barrier and will assist with sleep and not be absorbed by the gut. Take 2-3 hours before bedtime.
I've tried melatonin in the past with not great results and I also see a lot of research specifically saying you shouldn't take it.
I've posted elsewhere in this thread with tips for setting your circadian clock early in the day.
