Start with your sleep schedule (approx same time to bed, approx same time getting out of bed)
Do not eat 2h (3h is better) before bed
Drink more water (not juice, not milk, not tea or coffee. water!)
Enable “reduce blue light” on your phone and computer
Do not scroll phone before bed, DO NOT LISTEN TO ANYTHING on your phone before falling asleep (extremely important)
Try to watch sun sets (it is baked in our nature to feel tired once we witness sun to set)
Try not to use bright ceiling light in the evening (this is connected previous point. It is weird but it works)
Lower down or remove caffeine from your daily liquid intake. ABSOLUTELY NO caffeine before bed. If you are addicted to caffeine, try to limit intake to only before noon.
Magnesium helps to get better sleep for some. Try that.
You cant avoid skipping a few of these. The absolutely must ones are no scrolling/watching phone, no caffeine and no food before bed. These 3 are the worst ones at screwing your sleep.

I’m not here to disagree I’ve gone through this and my sleep has improved. But for some reason the phone thing isn’t affecting mine as much. I only do it sporadically but yeah the stable rhythm no caffeine (after 2 pm for me) and such they help. Also no alcohol!
