I've tried a lot of options to improve my sleep. What worked for me: - regular exercise in general but morning really works best for me and I would say avoid late afternoon / after work because your body will be too energized for sleep. - reduce caffeine intake. you can listen to Michael Pollan talk about his research for his caffeine book, where he stopped cold turkey and his sleep improved dramatically. - regular, consistent sleep hours - white noise if it helps, I use a diffuser (as mentioned Lavender is very good for sleep and diffuser) - CBD / THC. YMMV. I vape a 1/1 cbd thc plant strain and it def helps me sleep. I smoke late afternoon otherwise it can actually work against sleep if you go to bed buzzed. requires a bit of experimentation... - natural teas that help with sleep - Lemon Balm, Chamomile and Valerian. can be combined or separate. the only problem is that you may have to pee during the night if you drink these before bed. if you are in the UK you can also try this tablet

- a small amount of protein as a snack an hour or so before bed, peanut butter, yogurt, etc.
Melatonin did NOT work for me.
