Getting a CPAP. It's made such a huge difference. If you snore loudly, get a sleep study done!

As regular as possible bedtime routine.
No caffeinated drinks in the second half of the day.
Regular exercise.
Actually not sleeping too long in the morning either.
Melatonin.

Boxed breathing in some rare cases.

Being tired as hell. Improves my mood too by reducing overthinking.

Cranking the AC low.

When you kiss me goodnight

Cannibis Indica.

Not sure if I'm just weird or if this is a general rule for insomnia, but for me, what works will vary and there's no foolproof recipe to make me sleep, but below are some things that do help me.

• Exercise
• Consistent wake up time
• No screens 2 hours before bed
• Blocking sunlight early (sun currently sets after 10 pm)
• No food for at least 6 hours before bed
• Stop liquids 3 hours before bedtime
• White noise during sleep (I prefer the sound of rain)
• Don't leave things unfinished before bed, especially tasks that will make you worry or have anxiety
• Decluttered bedroom
• Clean bedsheets
• Air purifier
• Aromatherapy diffuser with lemongrass

There is a perfect combination of booze and depression that can get me to sleep for 10-12 hours in a single sleep cycle. Could probably sleep longer if I didnt wake up because I was about to piss myself from the copious amoont of alcohol consumed prior to sleeping.

Earplugs, but it's terrible for earwax build-up

White noise. I have "sleep headphones" which are a fabric headband with very flat bluetooth speakers in them.

Various white noise types (rain on a tent, being on a train, spaceship engine noise - though sometimes also stuff like "sleep meditation for anxiety") seem to get me asleep in 15 minutes (it helps turn off my wild thought spirals), and generally staying asleep until morning.

There's probably a ton of other factors about room temperature, eating times, reading e-book instead of phone before bed etc, but I think the white noise was the most noticeable and immediate change.

Sleep earbuds and a science-y audio book at 90% speed

Vitamin d helped my family quite a bit. Apparently we were all deficient when we talked to our doctor about it.

Mitigating things that prevent sleep mostly. If there are things that are keeping me awake I just get up and deal with them, it's faster than trying to ignore them or push through. Light bothering me? Block it or turn it off. Stuffy nose? Netti pot or go outside for a bit. Noise I can't stop? Create white noise. I get shin splints at night so I either compress them with bandages or sleep on my stomach with my feet hanging off the end of the bed and squish my shins. If I can't get my mind to stfu sometimes I'll get up and doze off on the couch or read a book, NO SCREENS! If the dog is laying next to me having a hand on her gives me the relaxing time brain chemicals, sometimes even if she is already leaning on me she'll do the crab scoot closer thing and that feeling helps too. Once in a while there is nothing I can do and I know I won't be sleeping, fortunately I have a job where I can take time off with little notice.

Prolanolol, side effect from the aim at reducing migraines. You can try Physiological sigh, they're great at completing the stress cycle. Detoxing from light sources for a couple of hours before sleep. No screens, dim all lights. Theres one where you tense every muscle, hold and then relax and imagine its super super relaxed, one at a time, all the way from feet to head.

Personally I have to listen to a show that's just interesting enough to keep my attention and not too interesting that it'll keep me awake to see what happens. (And without a super boppy intro outro, or it'll wake me back up.) I can sit there for hours and not sleep, trying without a show, turn a show on and I'm out in less than 5 minutes. It's insane.

Not a helpful answer, but I started taking a psych medication and I guess some people use it off label as a sleep aid. Soooo suffice to say I definitely sleep like a rock nowadays lol. Trouble is that I have to actually be disciplined enough to get into bed first!

BUT what has always helped me actually fall asleep is to actually use my phone in bed. I know people say not to, but it helps me fall asleep every night. What I do is put on a lengthy YouTube video that is not too interesting and not too boring. I fall asleep to them.

Alcohol. Not a lot mind you, just a nightcap

Why is it always smashing hamburger? Yeah. Weed and orgasm. Zzzzz
