Working out helps a bunch.

Medication:

Diphenhydramine 50mg.

Then diphenhydramine + Melatonin (20mg) (if I want to be dead asleep but will be groggy in the morning. Only used as last resort).

Melatonin (20mg)

That's a lot of melatonin for one dose.

Melatonin Dosage: How Much Should You Take

Key Takeaways

  • Most people take 1 to 5 milligrams of melatonin 30 minutes before bed.
  • Experts recommend taking no more than 10 milligrams at a time.
  • Melatonin overdose is on the rise. Consult a doctor before giving melatonin to children.

Yeah, it works for me. That was after trial and error. I used to take it daily when I had really bad sleep issues. Now it's only if I want 100% sure thing to be dead asleep. Probably why I get groggy from it the next day.

Cut that down or you're going to fuck yourself up long term.
