Most people have horrible sleep hygiene.
They drink caffeine into the afternoon, ingest alcohol before bed and sleep in a warm, barely darkened room with ambient street/building noise. On top of that they spend the hour before bed staring at a brightly lit screen.
If you want to sleep properly try:
- Doing some steady state cardio after 1pm
- Getting your room as dark as possible
- Getting your room as quiet as possible (or using a noisy fan to drown out external sounds)
- Getting your room as cool as possible (64-67F)
- Move the phone across the room and do not look at it 90 mins before bed
- Avoid alcohol when possible
Some people have genuine sleep disorders, but most people don't do the basic stuff to ensure a proper sleep environment.
