Magnesium
If you only take ONE supplement for fixing your sleep, it should be magnesium. Take 4 caps of Thorne Research Magnesium, or if cost isn't a concern, go with Life Extensions Neuro Mag L-Threonate supplement.

Vitamin D3/K2
A deficiency in vitamin D is going to cause sleep disorders, also adequate vitamin d levels are important for hormone production. Also, vitamin D is required in the conversion of 5-HTP into serotonin, which is then converted in melatonin.
I recommend sunlight exposure, but if that is not an option use Thorne Vitamin D drops.
-
Vitamin A
Vitamin A plays a vital role in setting our circadian rhythm.
The best way to ensure you are not deficient in vitamin A is by eating organ meat such as liver once a week. Alternatively, supplementing with vitamin A once or twice a week could help. I use Thorne Vitamin A 2x a week taken in the morning with food.
