I learned recently that melatonin can mess up glucose levels (increase them). So I stopped taking it.

While it worked well in the beginning for me, I actually sleep better now without it. In a pinch I may take 25mg of OTC benadryl but not often.

If your B12 is at good levels you should be making your own melatonin from serotonin properly.

Another thing to try at night is the magnesium lotion. This is very relaxing and helps with muscle tension.
