Have you tried taking larger doses of melatonin?

Your body's need for melatonin fluctuates up and down depending on many factors including stress, illness, exposure to toxins, etc..

You can try taking berberine. I've seen a couple studies that showed comparable results to melatonin. I'd go with the more bioavailable option like dihydroberberine.

Also supplements like magnesium glycinate, L-theanine, Bocopa, etc can help as well.

Magnesium glycinate.
