So I've tried going to bed earlier..ie. even 9:30-10:00 pm. Forget about going to bed much later, I'm not a night person.
Delicate question - how old are you? I never had a problem sleeping until my mid-40s when I hit perimenopause. I still wake up in the middle of the night if I'm stressed about something.
Going to bed one hour later actually does seem to reset my body clock somehow when I'm struggling with a long bout of insomnia.
Try valerian as well. I find I can only take it for 3 or 4 nights at a time, because then it starts working a little too well, and I have trouble getting up.
