Magnesium supplements, but be careful a lot of them give you barely 10% USDA a pill and cost tons
Better to find bulk magnesium gluconate on amazon in powder form and mix it into a drink daily. Has a pleasant taste unlike Magnesium Citrate but if you are desperate you can get that now in the form of No-salt salt substitutes in any grocery spice aisle but it is really bitter and nasty but will do the job.
I was the same way for the last 10+ years, and after a week of daily magnesium I was able to fall asleep in minutes and woke up more rested. I still have other stress in my life but being able to get a consistent full 6 hours after so many years of 2 and 4 that makes all the difference
It's been a profound game changer for me
