Cold dark room to Lower your temperature and block visual stimuli, eye covers work wonders where not possible, also help once you're used to do naps on hard workout days.

Melatonin on days I stay half awake for over 30 mins after lights off, usually a small biye off a 10 mg helps conciliate sleep.

Happy toughts, no crazy killing TV series reading drama or action stuff sets you up for decent natural occurring dreams.

Eat at least 2 hrs before going to bed so I'm not having hard digestion competing with brain cycles, light dinners and green veggies help get you all the magnesium to rest well.

Ultimately we're routine animals, sleep in my own bed, at the same time is the basic. Do it and force you to get to sleep on time and your body will pay you back with excellent recovery and a sharp mind.

Even with all of this I'm thinking to start trying relaxation mushrooms to Kickstart the cycle.

Sweet dreams!
