I used to struggle to sleep but eventually after experimenting a lot I got into a routine of consistent sleep. Here's a few things that I think helped me:

* Try to exercise every day. The days now when I struggle to get to sleep are days when I've skipped exercise. Also exercise early in the day. Exercise in the evening keeps me awake.

* Try to keep a routine of going to bed every day at roughly the same time and getting up at the same time every morning.

* Take magnesium (~750g) just before I go to bed.

* Avoid caffeine after 2pm. Coffee in the afternoon affects my sleep quality. T
