I used to be out of balance all the time, but grokking the phase response curve seems to have given me full control of my circadian rhythm. Taking term release melatonin at 16:00 and again at 20:00 can make me go to sleep a good 3 hours earlier.
However there doesn’t seem to be a thing in the world that cures sleeplessness that was caused by an overload of stress. If I’m sufficiently overwhelmed, I’m going to lie awake until 04:00 no matter what I do. There is no substitute for opening up to and fixing the underlying issues.
