I take 10mg of Melatonin along with 5,000 iu of D3 and 50 mg of K2 every night right before bed.

There is remarkable difference in sensitivity to melatonin. To find a tolerable dose (one that induced sleep but didn’t make me feel groggy/depressed/dizzy the next day) I kept reducing my intake to where I finally got to .25 mg (sublingual). That seemed like an absurdly small amount until I read that a young, healthy person produces 10-80 (micro)grams per night internally.

D3 and K2 should be taken with, or after, a meal containing fat. They are fat soluble, and you need to have fat in your gut to assimilate them properly. Don’t wait too long after your meal to take them.
