Like, I literally go to bed at 4 AM. I’ve tried taking melatonin and doing daily exercise, but it didn’t help. I realize that I can’t keep this up, but I can’t make myself go to bed no matter how much I tell myself I should.

    Certain diets and lack of critical nutritiants can make it very hard to sleep.

    If you can, try:

    1. Requesting a vitamin D blood test from your doctor
    2. Ensuring your getting enough potassium in your diet, especially before bed. V8 juice is a convenient method of adding potassium to your diet. Salads are also high in potassium. Morton’s Lite Salt (half salt, half potassium) is another good way of getting more in your diet.
    3. Consider taking a magnesium oxide supplement (500mg) with meals, as most people are deficient, and few foods have it.
    4. Avoid caffeine entirely.
