This isn't a one size fits all suggestion, but it's commonly helpful for a period of no activity to precede you attempting to sleep.

Take an hour before you are going to bed to be doing relatively nothing. No TV, no books, no games. Snuggle with a pet, lounge in the living room and look outside.

I listen to ambient nature noise (thunderstorms are a favorite) with noise-canceling headphones while laying in bed.

Still technically electronics, but it doesn't require any active attention, so it does a great job at transitioning my brain to a state where falling asleep is easy, while still being stimulated enough in the meantime to avoid being restless/bored.
