Honest question but are you aware that you slept for 8 hours?? Because 7:00 p.m. to 3:00 a.m. is 8 hours. It sounds like you're angry that you didn't sleep till 7:00 a.m. which would be 12 hours. Most adults need between 6 and 8 hours of sleep a night.

Valerian root works! But to me it sounds like what you should do is stay awake until later at night and then go to bed.

I know that a low dose of mmj is really helpful to a lot of people. If it's legal in your state/country I'd be inclined to look into that as an option.

Outside of that, valerian root, chamomile (celestial seasonings herbal tea has one called sleepytime which is nice), and for some people lavendar.

Prior to HRT, I found these pretty helpful. They do take about an hour to kick in.

But when I started progesterone I stopped using the gummies. Progesterone also takes about an hour to kick in for me. I usually take them at 9 so I'm falling asleep around 10.

Melatonin is what many people use. I have some tablets that are melatonin and valerian root. Like most sleep aids though, you’ll often still feel it in the morning so it can be better to use it on a weekend. I had today off so it took one last night, I had a late night and went to bed at 1am then slept in until 10am. Stupid move but I lost track of time.
