No idea whether youve tried melatonin. I dont really use it anymore, but it greatly helped develop familiarity with the feeling of falling asleep, such that it is a lever that I can much more easily pull now. Used 1-3mg doses for a while, then found that ~75-150 mcg did the job quite well.

I have taken melatonin almost every night for over 20 years. I agree with you that trying melatonin is an excellent suggestion for someone with a sleep problem.
