One thing that has genuinely helped me is limiting my exposure to screens after 8 pm. No phones, tablets, laptops, or TV beyond that time. Instead, I opt for reading physical books or doing some meditation. It really helps calm my mind and prepare my body for sleep. Also, keeping the bedroom cool and dark - blackout curtains are a blessing! - and investing in some good-quality, comfortable bedding has made a huge difference. My sleep has improved so much with these simple changes!

I second that! Keeping a gadget-free bedtime routine is a fabulous idea and has worked wonders for me too. Additionally, I find that an evening walk outdoors helps immensely to tire me out physically, especially when the weather's nice. The fresh cool breeze does wonders to calm and prepare the body for rest. Come back from your walk feeling exhausted and ready to slip into a peaceful slumber.
