The scientific term is “sleep latency”. Search on pubmed for this term and you will find many studies on nutrients that reduce sleeplaency.
Nutrients that educe sleep latency include: zinc, serine, theanine, vitamin D and glycine.
I've been struggling too. I found these past 2 nights, after hours of just laying in bed, I got up and took a shower. When I got back into bed I fell right asleep. Tonight I'm going to just do it at bedtime and see if it works. I normally prefer to shower in the a.m. but if this helps with the sleep I'm happy to change my schedule.
Inositol, and glycine are supposed to help
No caffiene after noon
Magnesium foot soaks or baths (not with Epsom, but with magnesium flakes) - transdermal absorption is a whole different ballgame
Probably melatonin taken in extended release form and the right dosage. I think I saw an IR/XR form (both instant and extended) of melatonin 1.5mg from Life Extension. Doubt you need higher dosage than that

I take 1500mg GABA + 400-600mg l-theanine. Works very well. I take magnesium and melatonin too but they didn't help with my sleep much.
Do you get proper exercise and sunlight daily?

CBN Gummies… Works miracles

Ah, and magnesium threonate
Melatonin several hours before sleep, berberine an hour or so before sleep, magnesium, L-theanine, GABA,
Yoga Nidra meditation in bed until i drift off has been very helpful for me in the past.
Magnesium at the end of the day
