Forgive me if I cover trodden ground, but for me it requires: no caffeine past noon, no eating one hour prior, no screens 30 minutes prior, and reading a paper book.

I agree that a drug is a drug. But prescription ones are usually formulated for consistent effect over a large sample size. You might be able to get by with less.

Trodden ground, also tried: lift less, run more, melatonin (fuck that), use room only for sleep, listen to noise, old books, new books, music, lay on all four sides of body, read fiction / non-fiction, tea.

Side note: I prefer to avoid, but evening coffees have suddenly become a thing in the lives of others around me. Is this a recent trend?

What's your issue with melatonin? I use it fairly regularly.

I used to do evening coffee all the time. Sometime around 30, it started messing up my sleep.
