Exhausted but can't sleep. Anyone take anything else other than melatonin?? Any suggestions that work for you?

I use zyflamend nighttime. It is a natural supplement with the herb valerian in it. Valerian is the herb that valium is made from. I take 2 nightly and it really works for me. I try to seek natural non drug help whenever possible and this really works to help me relax and have less interrupted sleep. I also take the daytime version as well because I believe it helps with inflammation.

I buy it from Vitamin and supplement stores. I have used this product for about 5 years and believe it has other side benefits. You should read the side of the bottle and decide if the ingredients are right for you.

I take 1 Benadryl tablets and it works great for me. I can still get up in the morning without being in a brainfog.

I have severe insomnia. Melatonin does not work for me at all. I read that magnesium works. It makes your body relax and just calms it down. Unfortunately for me, I have to take prescription medicine to sleep, otherwise I would be up all night.
