Might not (probably won't?) work for you, but as a data point, my routine, which works for me: * Don't expose yourself to bright light within 2 hours of going to sleep. * Around an hour before your ideal going-to-sleep time, take an ice-cold 3-minute shower in the dark. * Do n-back (black screen, black n-back background) until you are really really tired. * Get in bed and stay there until you fall asleep.
The important one! At least for me. I actually consider the inability to remember to go to bed a surprisingly legitimate sleep disorder - especially with people who have a significant weakness with task switching in general.
Doesn't work for me. I'll just lie there for hours.
I can agree with this. I usually find that unless I've reached a certain threshold of tiredness at night, there is no way for me to will myself to sleep, though at other times, especially for naps during the day, I can easily lay down until I fall asleep, even if I'm not feeling particularly tired.
That's way more intrusion into my life than I'd tolerate for a regular sleep schedule.
