Void meditation as you’re trying to sleep can help you sleep a lot better, HPS Maxine wrote about this years ago

As for the melatonin, it doesn’t matter really. Maybe the gummy will digest slightly faster because it’s been chewed but it really just depends on your preference. If you have trouble swallowing pills then go for the gummy

I've taken melatonin gummies and they are effective. There are still side effects however. I don't know why you ate having trouble sleeping but common reasons are having dinner too late in the night. You should have dinner by 6pm. Any carbs after that will disrupt sleep. You should look at your daily routine as see what is causing you to be restless

You can’t solve a problem without analyzing the causes of a problem. Why can’t you sleep? What keeps you awake?

If the problem is health based (like feeling restless), the spleen 6 acupoint is known for being a strong point for the treatment of insomnia.

I have a manual on the vital points to cure something or kill someone. I took it out of the library because it was too big and did not fit. Your continuous replies on the subject made me want to search for it and insert it again there. I thank you for this even if it is off-topic.

Doing physical work or exercise that will make you tired. Don't eat too soon before you go to sleep.

Se o problema for de saúde (como sentir-se inquieto), o ponto de acupuntura 6 do baço é conhecido por ser um ponto forte para o tratamento da insônia.

Saudações, então vou passar bem longe desse ponto 6, porque eu fecho os olhos entro em transe ..rs dormir então nem chego a encostar a cabeça no travesseiro já fui para o além...rs

Estou nos ribeiros de água, sou poço, sou jarro
Estou na montanha mais alta, sou pássaro, sou livre
Estou nos raios de sol, sou fogo, sou brasa viva

Estou em cada chegada em cada saída
Eu sou o pó, sou o tudo, sou o nada
Estou na primavera, sou o ventre, sou o coração

Estou nas profundezas, sou escuridão, sou luz
Estou na brisa suave, sou o vento forte e tempestade
Estou em cada canção, sou nota, sou mantra, sou tom
Estou na chuva, sou gota, sou mar.

Estou no amanhecer, sou a luz das estrelas, sou Lúcifer

you can also look into teas such as chamomile. Which for many is good for inducing sleep. But others such as Lavender are good to look into for simple relaxation which can help you. Try out different teas to see what seems to offer you the best relaxation. Sometimes finding simple routines to help you just learn to train your mind to relax can help as much as anything. Many minds thrive on routine and having that bedtime routine could help. Good luck.

Totally agree with this.

Additionally, I have had really bad problems with insomnia in the past which I have treated with herbal supplements and teas, so I will give some recommendations based on my experiences. I didn't like melatonin, personally, or hops, but they work for some people. Valerian is my personal favourite. I never needed the recommended nighttime dosage; it made me feel hungover the next day. I take around 60 mg (two tablets for "daytime anxiety") if needed for insomnia. (The point you can take here is, if something makes you feel bad in the morning, try a lower dosage, usually marketed towards "daytime anxiety") Lavender tea was far too much for me, also. I just drastically lowered the amount I was including in my teas, and it was better.
As for teas, it can be difficult to measure the dosage you're getting. I steep them for a very long time (around 3-4h) in a thermos.
You can find pre-blended teabags which makes it faster and easier, and usually they have good flavours! Look for ingredients like passionflower, lime flowers, valerian, chamomile, hops, lavender, lemonbalm.
Be aware of side effects, and don't take too much for too long. For example, when taking valerian, only do it for six weeks at a time, then take something else if needed for two weeks, after that you can take valerian again for up to six weeks.
You can find all this information by Googling the herbs, "how to use ... for insomnia", "benefits and side effects of ..."
Some things aren't good for everyone, so do your research, try different things and don't take any one thing for too long! Best of luck

You can try these herbal decoctions, they're from one of Carrie Chauhan's books (she's also an Ayurvedist), just adjust the measures and dosage as you see fit because everybody is different. Most herbs involved are Oriental herbs, but some are also Mediterranean, African and Western and the author was nice enough to give both English and Chinese names for the herbs, but if you can't find the exact herbs from a reputable seller, you'd be looking generally for herbs that calm the Shen energy, increase your yin reserves (for STAYING a sleep), and for mind-calming herbs, you'd look for those that moves the qi to pacify your liver and put out that excess liver yang. You should also look for herbs that increase your Blood (as in the energy, not the physical substance). Blood and yin energy go hand in hand.
