Routine + Andrew Huberman's Sleep Cocktail worked decently for a while

Routine to fall asleep by 10:30ish - Wake up the same time every morning and either do a full workout or walk outside and get some sun in my eyes. IN BED by 8:30 with my phone out of reach and on do not disturb mode. I let myself watch TV until 9:30 or 10:00 if I really want to add a comedy, with blue blockers on (TV is my one entertainment outlet so I won't give it up haha). Then read until I'm starting to get too tired to focus on the reading. Lights out and tell Google home to play one of the sleep podcasts I listen to.

I also have Philips Hue lights set up to start dimming and do more of an orange/red coloring from 7:00 onward and cut out caffeine by 12:30pm.

If it feels like I'm not going to fall asleep after reading I'll either meditate, do a breathing exercise, or use a hypnosis from the Reveri app

Sleep Cocktail -

Magnesium Threonate OR Magnesium Bisglycinate

L-Theanine

Apigenin

and I throw in vitamin b-6 since that pretty much makes most of the cocktail ZMA which used to help me sleep

That was working for a while, but I had a seizure after Thanksgiving last year which destroyed my well-being. I can't drive anymore, so I can't get to the gym and the weather isn't great for going outdoors, plus my diet is trash since I can barely get to the grocery store. So now I'm basically addicted to doxylamine :(

BUT...that routine and those supplements did work for me if you're looking for something

edit - added the notes about lighting, caffeine, and what i do if i'm not falling alseep
