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.

This is an issue for me as well. When you suggested this to me shortly after launch, I said "no way!". Then I started trying just zinc right before bed, and can't sleep for the life of me.

So strange! Not a single person in our beta testing had this reaction. I guess that's the limitation of a smaller sample size. Now that a lot more people have used it, there seems to be a percentage of people that just can't sleep with zinc at night.
