How do you beat insomnia without medication?

I couldn’t fall asleep until 6 am again. I took my usual melatonin but it didn’t do anything. I can take more but that always makes me oversleep. Is there anything not too powerful that can help? Im so exhausted but can never sleep at a normal time.

I induce REM. By tracing the alphabet forward with my eyes closed with my eyes. Then i trace 1 to 420 in the same fashion. If im not asleep by then i trace 420 to 1 then z to a. If still conscious just do it again or simply look up with eyes closed then down left to right then down up right left and repeat do the pattern on repeat until you fall asleep.
It always works.
