Question
I'd like your opinion on the following as additional strategies:

1.   5 mg of melatonin each evening prior to sleep

2.  vigorous exercise for about 1 hour 3-4x per week, enough to experience
endorphin release

Thank you  

Answer
I would be in favour of 20, but not of 1). Drugs are only palliative and you need to treat it at its core.
