I can only share what worked for me, but I'm guessing there'll be a large amount of overlap with what you've already tried and what others have suggested. This worked 100% for me:
- Giving up alcohol completely.
- Losing weight, from 215lbs to about 165.
- Avoiding caffeine after 2pm -- others are more sensitive though, so you might have to nuke it entirely.
- Started taking an SSRI. Obviously this is not a sleep protocol, but I'm convinced it helped me. My mind is no longer spinning with anxious thoughts when I'm in bed.
- Avoiding drinking fluids at night. My bladder is championship-level, and I almost never have to get up in the night to urinate, but it can disrupt your sleep even if you don't get up.
My dad has a lot more trouble sleeping than I did, and he's been having a much better time sleeping since taking some supplements that Dr. Andrew Huberman suggested on one of his podcasts. Look up his episodes on sleep. I'll look up the supplements later, when I'm home.
