    Exercise a lot (and get sunlight exposure) during the day.

    Also, never watch movies, read, scroll on a phone, etc in bed. You want your brain to 100% associate being in the bed with sleeping, as soon as it happens

    I’m usually out within 5-10 minutes now, since starting to follow those two things reliably

    (edit: also, minimizing light exposure in the last couple of hours of your day is good)

    edit 2: Forgot the most important thing of all, which is to keep a consistent sleep / wake time every day. Getting rid of all alcohol is great too, if you want actually-decent sleep
