I'm glad you've found something that works for you and gets you some good zzz. Sleep is essential. I use magnesium and avoid carbs and get very good sleep most nights. If I'm up, it's usually due to vitamin D jacking me up too much. But it also gives me plenty of energy to get through the day, so it's a trade off.

There is a fine line between what you call natural and non natural, I mean codeine comes from poppies. I think purity and strength being a problem with drugs is often over sold by natural product enthusiasts, I mean it is nice to know what exactly your taking instead of just a mixture of many non rigorously tested compounds, it also makes it more potent. Yes side effects will often be stronger too than just eating poppy seeds, but life is always a balance.
I've my best results from lyrica, which improves sleep a lot, and pain a little, despite reading horror stories online about the side effects, for me at least they are mild. That's just me anyway, clearly you've got a different way of doing things and all the best to you.
