Insomnia

Reading a book in bed instantly puts me to sleep for some reason. Must be the lack of blue light.
Google sleep hygiene and create some new habits. Sleep is a confidence, anxiety is its enemy. If not that then get some montmorency cherry capsules from Amazon and take two of them before bed each night. As a final, extreme measure read some match previews on this site mate.
I’ve suffered from it for years mate, but the problem I have is waking up all the time and getting back to sleep.
These are the things that help me :
Sleep mask - tricks the brain into thinking it’s nighttime.
Sleep proof your room - blackout blinds etc, stop the light coming in.
Turn all electrical items off - they reckon the electrical signals from them stimulate the brain.
No caffeine or alcohol after 6pm ( not always possible I know )
Those cherry capsules that @chicoazul mentioned are worth a go. I use Serotonin tablets too, but they give you wild dreams, so I only use them when I’m shattered.

+1 for reading. I used to always struggle to sleep, especially in my old job which wasn't as chill as my current one, but now I read for 15/20 mins in bed each night and then I normally fall asleep ok. Try and 'de-stress' before bed if you can, thinking about work/other issues always (still does sometimes) keep my mind racing at night. And make sure you're actually tired... do some exercise (both physical and mental) to run your batteries down so your body and mind want to go to sleep.
Spent all night thinking about this
