      L-theanine 100mg-400mg, test to optimize

      Melatonin 1mg-3mg, test to optimize (less is usually more optimal, but everyone's biology is different)

      Avoid alcohol whenever possible from a sleep perspective.

          Noticeable calm and reduced "noise" when trying to sleep.

  Cannabis. Huge help, but not for everyone

  I have friends for which it does the opposite

  THC, CBD does nothing for me
