Do Your Research: Yeah. That happens. It works for a while then it doesn't. Kinda like a lot of things we try to artificially jag.Sleep is a complex subject.Can be very frustrating. There are things you can do. Start with researching "sleep hygiene."That's a start. You know, good sleep habits. There's a lot in modern life(from stress to electric lights) that can disrupt our sleep. But the last alternative is a pill
