A few things help me

physical exercise
phone screens banned
a caffiene free herbal tea
calming noises either real or from phone
reading a physical book or kindle using a tablelamp with no backlight.
reading a single page of theory (puts me to sleep honestly)
consistent bed time and wake time
some basic meditation or breathing exercises can go a long way if you're feeling stressed

I used to have a lot of trouble sleeping but since I've done some of the above i can generally fall asleep consistently at 11pm
