In the middle of my life I am grateful that I've finally worked out a decent sleep system. It took a lot more than people realize but diet, exercise, regular schedule, stress management, and bedroom environment all played sometimes surprisingly important factors. Worst part is it's going to be different for everyone, but IMO totally worth the potential years to figure it out. Only advice I can offer is to use the scientific method, keep everything as static as possible and change one thing at a time but to get a real impression of that one thing changing it might take a couple weeks.
