I've been struggling with inconsistent sleep for months, waking up multiple times a night and feeling exhausted despite being in bed for eight hours. I've read all the standard sleep hygiene advice about dark rooms and no screens, but my mind races with work stress as soon as I lie down. For others who have overcome similar issues, what specific, beyond-the-basics strategies actually helped you quiet your mind and achieve restful sleep? Did you find success with particular relaxation techniques, adjusting your diet or exercise timing, or even using white noise or weighted blankets? How long did it take to see real improvement after implementing your routine, and did you consult a sleep specialist or use any tracking devices that provided useful insights?
