It's a common struggle, but there are steps you can take to improve your sleep habits. Have you tried setting a bedtime routine or creating a relaxing environment before bed?

I've tried going to sleep at a specific time but I just can't get myself to go to sleep early every single night because it just seems like I'm missing out on something

Have also tried a weighted blanket but I don't use it anymore because if I turn the weights keep shifting until all of them are on one side

Maybe getting back on washing my face with a scrub and leaving my toiletry bag in my main bathroom or something could help with starting a routine

I keep my toothbrush and toothpaste etc. In a toiletry bag wich i either leave somewhere downstairs or in my main bathroom. So it's not like if I go to brush my teeth I'm always upstairs where It's more natural to go to my room

Listening to something or having music in the background playing indeed helps me a lot. However I'm always afraid that if I fall asleep with my phone on I'll wake up to an uncharged phone and I won't have the time to charge up if I need to go somewhere

I've been debating about buying melatonin pills or gummies but I first want to try changing some stuff on my own

idk have u tried closing ur eyes

stretch, meditate, drink milk, no phone, and try going to sleep. avoid sleeping pills as they can make you dependent on them.
