insomnia - melatonin imbalance?

Hey there,
So I have sleeping troubles and recently they became much worse. I always thought this was due to the psychological stress I had at work, but recently I got a new job freelancing and my stress level is incredibly low. However I still have trouble falling asleep. While I am physically tired I feel like my mind cant shut down. I’ve tried exercising more, installed flux on my devices but to no avail. I was wondering if there may be a chemical imbalance im suffering from. I found that you can take melatonin pills and even gummies (like yuminutrition.com/)
Was wondering if this is worth trying and whether someone may have similar issues and possible solutions to my insomnia.

Guided sleep meditations can be effective or a visit to your GP?

I have been taking melatonin for a couple of weeks and have found it helpful. I didn’t have full on insomnia though, I had just been waking during the night and then waking too early and not able to get back to sleep. So far there has been a noticeable improvement in my quality of sleep.

I’d say it’s worth a try.

You can try it. Melatonin supplements have zero effect on my insomnia, sadly! Mine is nothing to do with worries, though. Maybe something that helps you feel less stressed would be more useful, throughout your life.

Where do you get Melatonin from please?

I get mine on the Biovea website. I hope they help you Smile
