I've been struggling with insomnia for months, and my doctor suggested I focus on improving my sleep hygiene before considering medication. I've started implementing a strict no-screens rule an hour before bed and keeping my bedroom cool and dark, but I still find myself lying awake for hours with racing thoughts about work. For others who have successfully retrained their sleep patterns, what specific wind-down routines or mental techniques helped you the most to quiet your mind and actually fall asleep, and how long did it take before you noticed a consistent improvement?
