Melatonin makes some groggy the next day, others not. L-Theanine, L-Tryptophan and GABA help some. Some just like a nice cup of Chamomile tea.
Also, taking in a larger percentage of your daily your carbohydrate before bed can help, too.
I'd also be sure you don't have apnea... (I can follow up on that if needed.)

I have had a sleep study done on me to test for apnea couple years ago when I was experiencing similar problems, so I don't think it is that. I've trying to utilize higher carbs before bed as well, as sometimes I do tend to wake up hungry, so will keep up with that, and potentially purchase some of what you listed above.
In regards to GABA, from what I have read, I thought is was unable to cross the blood brain barrier, so it has little effect. Have you seen other research, or any anecdotal evidence of it being effective in its effect on sleep?
Thanks!
