>SNRIs/SSRIs (don’t work for me)
These work is you take them exactly prescribed for at least a month or two. People often don't take them properly or take them for only a week or two and it doesn't work properly for them. They won't really do anything to affect your sleeping though
>Placebo (don't read if you want these to work):
>- Melatonin
Melatonin definitely works. I have a prescription for them but don't like taking them because they're too strong. Even if I take them at like 4pm I'm still really drowsy at midday of the next day

You didn't read every research and you didn't perform a proper personal study. You're just a lonely kid seeking attention.

What about nepetalactone?
