Any life advice on falling asleep fast
Any tips on falling asleep INSTANTLY? For years I have been staying up until 1 AM (usually) and my body has adapted to it. Now even if I stay completely still and clear my mind for hours, I can't fall asleep until it's way past midnight. I've been trying to change my sleeping routine, but how am I supposed to fall asleep before 1AM, if I can't fall asleep before 1AM. A lot of people have adviced me to put my phone at least one hour before sleep, but 21-23 PM is the only time I can actively use it (i have a YouTube channel btw), while maintaining a 8 hour sleep, because I have to wake up at 7 AM. My daily schedule is packed so I can't really use it any other time of the day. I have school, afterclass activities sometimes, a job and charity work. Also I spend time with my friends and family. I've tried common methods like the 4-7-8, the military sleep methods, counting, exercising,listening to music/podcasts/boring stuff, but none of that seems to work for me, infact it actually wakes me up even more. I finish my meals by 20 PM and my room is dark and quiet. Also if I don't get at least 8 hours of sleep my head begins to hurt a lot in specific areas. So yeah, I really need an effective method to make me fall asleep in minutes in order to optimize my day-to-day life.
