- Take 5-10mg of melatonin ~1hr before you sleep. The pills you put under your tongue are faster than the ones you swallow. For me the swallowed ones take like 1-2hr to make me sleepy while the tongue ones work in like 30min
- Sleep in a dark room. If you're tired of getting awoken by sunlight at 6am use light-blocking curtains. You can get them at IKEA.
- Sleep naked. This actually makes it easier to sleep because of it being cooler or something something heat conduction.
- Use night light/warm light filters on your devices. Blue light makes it harder to sleep.
- Don't look at your phone in bed, or any devices for that matter. Don't listen to music either. You are trying to AVOID brain stimulation, and staring into lights makes it hard to sleep.
- Try imagining yourself in some sort of story or place. This works on a similar principle to the counting sheep thing.
- Try going for a run or doing pushups to tire yourself out, but don't do it right before sleeping because exertion will make you more awake.
- Do something really boring and unstimulating before bedtime to make you even sleepier.
- Some nutrient deficiencies will make it harder to sleep or fuck with your sleep cycles.
- Falling asleep when sleepy is much faster. Consider going to bed instead of trying to force yourself to do more work if you're sleepy. You work more efficiently on more sleep anyways.
- Milk makes you sleepy. It doesn't actually have to be warm.
- Aim for at least 8 hours of sleep
