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
