Instant always destroy sleep?

I used Kava for a while about 10 years ago but had a bad reaction one night where I couldn’t sleep, felt buzzy and anxious all night and actually continued into the morning. Obviously this turned me off completely. But recently after trying to find something instead of a couple beers to relax at night I remembered that Kava did work well up to that time and have been learning a lot about the kavalectones themselves and how they influence the experience.
Anyway, I ordered some Epik Instant Melo Melo from N@H as they are spoken highly of here for quality and potency and they’re in Florida as am I so quicker shipping. Melo Melo was claimed to be balanced and I am definitely not against some heady euphoria as long as it transitions to sleepy. It worked well and I felt nice for a few hours, but sleep was difficult and when I finally slept it was fragmented, like sleep after alcohol so exactly what I was trying to avoid. I emailed them asking which instant would be better for sleep, or at least not interfere with sleep, and I got the vaguest non-answer of, it’s not FDA approved for sleep and affects everyone differently so just try all of them.
Really? Instant is super expensive, I’m not gonna just buy again and again to have the same bad experience.
I’m not against traditional grind if necessary, just prefer the convenience of instant, though looking at COAs from most companies instants, there doesn’t seem to be any that are 2,5 leaning, most everything is 423 and I believe I want to avoid high yangonin.
Advice or recommendations, preferably with COAs to back it up, welcomed. And if traditional is my only option I’m good with that and will accept recommendations for that. I did find a lot of 245631, 245613 on Kava Depot but they’re sold out of pretty much everything.
