    A few things help me

    • physical exercise
    • phone screens banned
    • a caffiene free herbal tea
    • calming noises either real or from phone
    • reading a physical book or kindle using a tablelamp with no backlight.
    • reading a single page of theory (puts me to sleep honestly)
    • consistent bed time and wake time
    • some basic meditation or breathing exercises can go a long way if you’re feeling stressed

    I used to have a lot of trouble sleeping but since I’ve done some of the above i can generally fall asleep consistently at 11pm
