A consistent wake-up time helped more than forcing bedtime. My sleep got better once my mornings became steady. It took a couple of weeks, not one night.

The biggest change was no phone in bed. I still slip sometimes, but when I scroll at night my brain stays awake much longer. Charging the phone across the room helped.

Keeping a notebook beside the bed helped. I write down the thing I’m worrying about and one next step for tomorrow. It sounds simple, but it tells my brain the problem is not being ignored.
