How were you taking melatonin? I got great benefit from it but only when I always took it at the exact same time every night, turned lights out, no screens, etc. it would still take about 3 hours to kick in. I’d take it and not shut off lights for about an hour and a half, fwiw.

After trial and error, I pour 1/5th of a capsule into a glass of water.

It puts me to sleep within 45 ~ 60 minutes, pretty much without fail.

But then my deep sleep is still far too low.

How about multiple sleeping periods per night? Ie wake up, do things until tired again, sleep. I can feel especially rested that way.

I think there’s something special, too, about a morning nap after some caffeine has started to kick in.
