Will Taking Melatonin Helps Cure Sleeplessness?

Why does it take me so long to fall asleep at night, i'm 15 years old female. AS far as i know i dont have any sleeping issues. I have tried reading before bed, using melatonin, and other sleeping things but nothing seems to work. Please help, its taking me 2 hours to fall asleep everynight

hiii dear
if u have sleep onset insomnia than melatonon will help
agomelatine is very useful for this

but u have to identify other stress related psychological problem which causes sleep dist
if they are than try to modify
lifestyle modification is must
sleep hygiene therapy will give best results
like
fix sleep time and do stick on it
regular exercise which make u fatigue
meditation
no daytime sleep
avoid smoking and alcohol
light dinner
avoid tea coffee before sleep
calm and cool bed room
read boring book in bed
etc

if melatonin will not help than try tab zolpidame 10 mg which is better than melatonin
I find this answer helpful
