I think you need to time the workout right, if you do it too late you might have even more problems sleeping because exercise produces hormones like cortisol which keep you alert. Also the bright lights in my gym are not great. I try to keep activity down three hours before I plan to go to sleep.

Things that work naturally for a fact: Running at least 2 hours before bed or earlier. Valerian Root, maybe other herbal teas mixed in. Tonics of Magnesium or Ashwaganda Root extract. I find these to work the best for OTC sleep.

I use One L-Trypt0phan 500mg, one or two 5mg Melatonin, (I'm a little heavy) and one or two 5 HTP a Serotonin like OTC that doubles the effectiveness of the Melatonin.
Read where only 3mg of Melatonin is enough, but I get better results with 2, probably cause of weight. If this does not work and I have to get to sleep for that 12 hour day with 2 of drive time, talk to doctor about Traz0done 50mg. That does the trick if all the other don't. Good luck

Magnesium always relaxes me at night and aids quality sleep. Helps relax my muscles and works synergistically with supplements like Theanine and Ashwaganda.

Add theanine, it is really good. I prefer it over Valerian.
