I'm one such person. I've had multiple sleep studies performed over my adult life and none of them found anything substantial / actionable, yet I would wake every morning feeling like I hadn't slept at all, like I hadn't recovered.

Blackout curtains and a comfortable sleep mask.

A comfortable pillow.

Cleaning up my diet.

My phone goes on "wellbeing mode" at 9pm every night.

I get into bed consistently between 9 and 10pm and I read for 60-90 minutes every night before falling asleep.

I follow a consistent, no excuses, strength and conditioning training program.

Happy to expand on any of this.

I would add that I am in my early 40s and that we have 3 children in the house that are under 3 years old. There are complications here, but, despite that, all of the above remains in place, and I actually feel rested today and like I am recovering when I sleep.
