Anyone else getting insomnia from sleep support?

For the first week, Sleep Support was giving me the best sleep of my life. At the peak of the benefits, I was hitting 3:30+ of deep sleep and waking up feeling incredible. Now that's all changed. It still causes drowsiness, and I almost doze off but it feels like my brain is "stuck" on. I've tried adding plenty of magnesium, 300mcg of melatonin, 400mg of phosphatidylserine, and 4mg copper (to offset zinc) but nothing works. The only way I'm able to "turn off" the weird head sensation is with a dose of ZZZquil.
Is it the Zinc that has somehow started causing too much stimulation? I'm hoping to soon try supplementing with the individual components one by one but need to wait until I have the extra funds. It was pretty devastating to start experiencing this since the initial week was so pleasant. Nothing else was added or removed from my stack at this time, and I'm taking very little else at the moment.

It seems weird that it would flip so abruptly. Giving you the best sleep of your life for a week, then suddenly keeping you up, is a strange reaction. What else are you taking? Are you consuming caffeine late in the day? How was your sleep before you started? Have you tried not taking it at all and seeing how you sleep? Are you still taking BH4? That boosts a lot of neurotransmitters, including norepinephrine and epinephrine. Are you still taking the GH peptides as well?
