Default Sleep Advice

I hesitate to look overthink this too much, and I think it may mostly be a question for Mark, but what supplements are best for sleep with PCS and when should they be taken? My usual nightly routine is to get away from doing any work, my phone or really exerting myself and just relaxing at least two to three hours before bed. I try to exercise early in the afternoon as well. I was taking 50 mg of trazodone, but I know it is a temporary fix and the side effects of a dry mouth and sinus have become unbearable with the colder weather. The drops in blood pressure when standing and trying to get going in the morning are also very hard to work through, and I think my sleep has improved because when I wake up early (5:00-6:00) I have been able to get myself back to sleep for another hour or two after.

Thanks!
