Don’t rely on melatonin pills because then your body stops making its own. Look at magnesium and zinc. Do that with a multivitamin (whose magnesium oxide and zinc oxide are hard to absorb) and you got everything.
I do have all of those in my cabinet, but wasn’t aware they would help with falling/staying asleep. Def agree about not becoming dependent on melatonin supplements; I try not to over-do it, but sometimes when I have important stuff to do first thing in the morning, I don’t want risk being a zombie from poor/no sleep.
Story of my life lol.
I’ve been taking melatonin gummies before bed, and those seem to be helping.

Hmmm.
I got the magnesium supplement, but I didn’t know about zinc oxide and I didn’t know they were hard to absorb.
I better look up what foods those guys are in, make it a little snack before bed instead
Melatonin seems to have a negative impact on my sleep.
I should try multivitamins
