<p>I'm having the same problem. I've had inconsistent success with Melatonin. What works best is controlling my environment and what I eat late in the day. This means dimming the lights and cutting off all electronics at least an hour before bed. Having a few more Carbs at dinner than I have at breakfast and lunch seems to help some too. For me, this usually comes in the form of a sweet potato or Greek yogurt with fresh berries. Also, I cannot have caffiene after around 4pm each day. </p> <p>I have found that, since changing my eating habits (Paleo + goats milk dairy and Greek yogurt) and exercise habits (CrossFit + running), my body is MUCH more sensitive to what I consume. I no longer over eat unhealthy foods and sit around all day. Caffiene was not formerly a big issue...same thing for relaxing and turning off electronics before bed. My body has changed and is still changing (been at this 4 months today). I have to be patient as my body continues to adjust. </p> <p>It seems I'm having to watch everything I consume and do in the evening to give myself the best chance possible of getting a good night's sleep. It seems like a fairly tedious process. I'm still figuring out this sleep element.</p> <p>Please do let me know if you find a sure fire sleep solution. </p>
