This isn't a one size fits all suggestion, but it's commonly helpful for a period of no activity to precede you attempting to sleep.
Take an hour before you are going to bed to be doing relatively nothing. No TV, no books, no games. Snuggle with a pet, lounge in the living room and look outside.

ain't nobody got time for that

Right, so, here's my quick hack on my youtube channel for how to get an hour of rest prep time in 10 minutes:
- First, grab a monster energy drink.
- Chug that fucker.
- Using your sped up cognition, focus really hard on not having any activities.
- Your brain should be firing neurons roughly 6-7x faster now, so you can probably get like an hour of intense no activity focus before you sleep, in just 5-10 minutes now.
- Go to sleep
- Vibrate

These "hours", where can you purchase them in their most fast-acting formula?

I listen to ambient nature noise (thunderstorms are a favorite) with noise-canceling headphones while laying in bed.
Still technically electronics, but it doesn't require any active attention, so it does a great job at transitioning my brain to a state where falling asleep is easy, while still being stimulated enough in the meantime to avoid being restless/bored.

I find reading a book or writing a diary entry works well during this "sleep runway" period.
