^Almost forgot. Also control calories more. Try a two meal-a-day routine, for example. You eat your meals within an 8 hr window, thus the body digests for 15-17 hrs.
Not so easy to start, but these routines are a natural way to get the body/mind into rhythms that may be both, sustainable & beneficial to health, rest, etc...

At the time my insomnia started I never spent much time at night on electronics. I usually read before bed. Now, though I sometimes stay up til 1am or later. But that's because I can't get out of bed until 10. I don't drink much, maybe 2-3 drinks a week max. I also quit coffee and sugar for several months. On 3 separate occasions I tried getting back to the gym, despite averaging 4 hours of sleep a night. I was going pretty hard, but each time after 3 months my sleeping would get way worse and I'd have to quit. The last time I worked out was January 2021. And then I started getting 0-3 hours of sleep. My sleep hygiene rn is totally crappy but it's a result of being mentally and physically beat down all the time. I do appreciate all the advice and stuff. There's so many moving parts that I'm pretty sure it's incurable at this point.
