What do you do to help fall asleep?

I've tried everything under the sun. And, nothing seems to work.

No caffeine after 12pm, and a doxylamine succinate sleeping pill with a 5 mg melatonin pill and a cup or two of extra strength sleepytime tea.

I’m a horrible insomniac, and that works well on most nights. It’s all non prescription too.

@Zaphod42 As I read your comment, I took a sip of my coffee. Lol!😜

@AJMoore1984 Sooo, everything under the sun except not having coffee before bed. Got it 🤣

Caffeine has a 6 hour half life in the body, so 12 hours total for it to be out of the system. If you smoke, that changes things a little, but introduces its own issues with sleep.
