2 hours before: Dim the lights and huff some melatonin
2 - 1 hour: Get in bed and read a book. Maybe some more melatonin
Then fall asleep
I don’t use my phone or any electronics and try not to talk too much with my roommates during that time. I also found that if I take ritalin or drink coffee less than like 8 hours before sleep, that I have more trouble falling asleep.

Now I’ve got goosebumps from imagining the sound / feeling of a dry marker on photo paper
