something for everyone
I think all the things mentioned in your original post are true.

I would recommend the following steps:
1. block off ALL light in your room (I put up light blocking curtains on the window, trash bag over the fire alarm), such that you cannot even see your hand in front of your face
2. Optimum sleeping temperature around 68-70: well worth the extra cost per month
3. No bright screens 10-15 minutes before sleep: try reading a book
4. Buy a white noise machine: works wonders

This is a serious question: how big is your neck. Actually measure it.

Do you snore?

This is another good point.

As a medical resident I cannot emphasize enough about how BiPAP changes peoples lives. If you even think you may have obstructive sleep apnea (does your partner report your snoring), go get tested.

My patients tell me they have new lives after they start on BiPAP after being diagnosed with OSA
