Good sleep hygeine: Insomnia doesn't always need a pill (rx or supplement). Try these: consistent bedtime and wake up time. No naps. No/very little alcohol. No caffeine (found in coffee, tea, soda, chocolate) after noon. No reading/tv/ipad/etc in bed--"the bed is for sleep or sex and nothing else". Sometimes avoiding exercise at night helps too. These won't fix it immediately, but over time--healthier sleep!

Melatonin : 1.Keep regular bed & waking time (even weekends). Rise same time each day, regardless of time you fell asleep. 2. Develop relaxing bedtime routine: warm bath/shower, aromatherapy, reading, or listening to gentle music. 3. Sleep in dark, quiet, cool room w comfortable mattress & pillows. 4. Bedroom is only for sleep & sex. No work materials, computers, & tv in room. 5. Finish eating at least 2-3 hr.
