Like what someone else said about not being on your phone / computer an hour before. Also make sure your room is actually dark

just try to not think about anything

maybe also try exercising before so you will be tired and you'll fall asleep easily

Dont use any electronics for at least an hour before sleeping

Dont eat anything for at least an hour too

I personally do stretches and read before bed

Stretches before bed really help with any back pains you might have too

to my knowledge, melatonin is universally the same. it's a hormone released by your body to make you sleepy so all you're doing by taking it on your own is speeding up the process. it just comes in different forms (pill you can drink, tablet that dissolves in your mouth, etc.) but it's basically all the same.

if you take the right amount of melatonin it should take between 20-30 minutes for it to kick in.

It definitely does, also do you have a set routine for when you wake up and sleep by? Because that helps a lot, humans are creatures of habit

i heard the one you put under yout tung is the better one too to use

PilotJones

yeah idk if it's the same one, but i use the one that dissolves in the mouth. works pretty nicely tbh.

i try not to use it every night because i did use it regularly when i was at university and once i graduated i found it kinda hard to go to bed sometimes. it was easy to get back to normal and use it occasionally, but just a heads up. if you have problems sleeping, it will be tempting to use it every night. don't do that.

i know it gets addicting i would even rather use something else to like some advil or that sleep ezz by nyquil

i wouldn't really say it's "addicting", and would actually recommend melatonin instead of advil or zzzquil. i'd say it's more of a temporary dependancy, and that's also only if you take a s*** load of it every single night.

its not like your body craves it and that craving becomes a problem, because melatonin is naturally produced by your body anyway so it just comes back to normal in a day or 2.

the other stuff is external s*** that you are introducing into your system so your body is actually not used to it. that has a higher chance of getting you "addicted" to it than melatonin does.

what happens if you toss and turn a lot to trying to sleep using melotone? it still works? or do you have to be laying down not moving for it to work

PilotJones

melatonin is cool, but the other advice in this thread is more important tbh. no screens before bed, put your lights dim when it's an hour before bed time, read a book, take a hot shower, etc. all of that s*** that gets you relaxed and settled.

most important is just having a set routine and bed time. but for me that's also the hardest one to achieve.

PilotJones

you'd don't have to be totally still like a plank, but you do gotta be relaxed and comfortable, so if you need to toss and turn for a second, that's not a deal breaker. it'll actually help.

take deep-breaths, don't clamp your eyes shut just keep them gently closed, try to clear your mind, etc. if you've ever tried even basic meditation before, that's the easiest comparison i can make.

i do have a regular routine it just gets out of whack sometimes when this happens to me in 99% of the time if i have one full good night sleep i wont think about it the next day meaning i wont be always thinking and saying to myself ''will i be able to sleep at night''
