A friend of mine who's a psychologist, recommended to think of something really boring when lying In bed. An example was to count backwards from 100, by drawing It (100) on a blackboard, rubbing It out and then write 99 and keep repeating the process with every figure. Believe It or not, It helps me fall asleep more often than not.
I do this exact thing and it works great.

It's not effective each and every night, but I'd say It works for me over 85% of the time.

Easiest way to sleep for me is :
1.watching tv
2. glass of water before sleep
3. not being hungry before going to bed

I always put on some kind of long-form analysis or essay on YouTube to listen to

I meditate, sometimes I will play a sleep story on a meditation app. Also, brown noise can help a ton.

Breathing techniques help, lately for me its been ASMR and rain/thunderstorm sounds.

TBH I did not believe that at the beginning but there is some sort of supplements that got Magnesium in it that should do the trick
