Of course it's hard but do you really think there's another solution? I just tried to get to the point and not sugar coat it. The OP has said they have tried several things but they have failed. I read that as they've tried several things and given up because there wasn't a quick fix and just gone back to doing X that causes Y.
I'm fairly certain the OP knows what the problem is. Others have posted similar responses. No phones/video games, exercise, read book, set a reminder to go to bed. Get up at the same time no matter what. Your rhythms will reset.
One can try and motivate them or understand the root cause (sometimes that can be even harder to solve), but ultimately it comes down to discipline. Most of the time there isn't a magic pill one can take or as something simple as blue screens. Medication/stretching before bedtime to get rid of the stresses of the day, having a good sleeping environment, dim lights etc can all help to a degree.
People will try and sell you stuff that they say will work, but it's mostly BS or something that is only slightly effective and ignoring the obvious solution which they can't sell you anything.
As others have said it's probably because of too much dopamine simulation. As a society we've got used to not being bored.
Have dinner at a reasonable time, then go for a big walk (without listening to podcasts or texting constantly) and making sure no internet after 10pm. Set a reminder to go to the bedroom at 10.30pm, then go read a book in bed.
Bottom line: Get your ass to bed at X and always get up at Y no matter what. :shrug:
