Besides the obvious "tips" like eliminating lights or not exercising/eating right before bed, I'm interesting in what products or supplements you've used.
I am probably an insomniac because I find that if I don't use SOMETHING, natural or otherwise, I have a hard time falling asleep. I can toss and turn for 2+ hours, so I rotate between Diphenhydramine (Benadryl) and Melatonin. They're pretty effective and a one month supply of either can be had at Dollar Tree. But you build up a tolerance and the first one is a drug that isn't very good for you so I don't want to stay on it.
Some people swear by food (turkey), drink (warm milk) or root (Valerian) but none of those have done anything for me.
Oh, and I'm not a big smoker so I rarely "smoke" weed, but I have used marijuana edibles when traveling to places like Colorado and Amsterdam with great success. Doing this in Amsterdam cured a horrendous week-long jetlag in 2 nights. I wish Florida would get it together and legalize it. 2 mini cookies a night and I'd be out like a light.
