I understand your struggle, as I have battled with this is the past but have it in check at the moment…
Step 1: wake up early every day including weekends/holidays.
Step 2: exercise vigorously and make sure your body gets tired. Lately my chosen exercise is swimming, but I’ve done boxing, running, dance classes etc - just anything that literally flogs me.
Step 3: don’t consume caffeine after 12
Step 4: say no to day naps.
Step 5: have a quiet evening routine that cues brain into accepting that bedtime is imminent. Ie, I often have a shower, then a hot chocolate, listen to music (not my usual EDM type stuff but more chill blues type stuff), sometimes I also read or draw.
Usually by 11pm I’m unable to stay awake anymore, but it was only about 2 years ago where I would bedtime procrastinate sometimes until 2 or 3am when I had to be awake at 6am. But I seem to have a fairly good routine now. I sometimes will stay up later if I’m with someone else but mostly I’m good with bedtime now.
