Every night (takes 6 weeks before I notice a big change)

Magnesium Glycinate

EPA fish oil

If I stop the above regiment, and my insomnia flares up again, I find the following to help break the cycle until the magnesium and fish oil ramp back up.

Take an Aleve

Eat a half bunch of celery an hour or two before bedtime.

Have you ever tried Magtein?

I stopped taking fish oil a while ago but worth adding back in.

Why do you think Aleve is helping?

Inflammation. My theory is that once you have missed a number of good nights of sleep, your brain gets inflamed and that perpetuates the cycle.

Haven’t tried Magtein. The Magnesium Glycinate was prescribed by my sleep doctor. The rest I’ve picked up from online forums which others recommend and have worked for me. There are good studies to back the Magnesium. The rest.... works for me.
