I took melatonin and ashwagandha for the first time and finally felt like I slept.

For as long as I can remember I’ve been a heavy oversleeper. I’ve never really had problems going to bed or staying asleep but pretty much every day I oversleep and wake up late or wake up when I’m supposed to and turn off my alarm clock and go back to bed because I’m still tired and I rarely get less than 10-12 hours of sleep and still feel like I never went to bed when I wake up. Last night I took zzzquil which contains 6mg of melatonin and some other herbal supplements. I only slept for about 6 hours and woke up an hour before my alarm clock ( I had to get up a lot earlier today than I usually do for an appointment that I was super nervous I would miss because of my sleep problems). I can’t describe how much better I have felt this morning than I have been feeling. I just woke up and felt normal and ready to go. I’m not sure what my underlying issue is or if the melatonin was what really helped but I’m really hoping the rest of the week I have a similar experience
