I've seldom had much trouble falling asleep, overall, though I do find some things helpful. Darker is Better: When I was growing up, I always had a nightlight just to avoid tripping and falling and to stop little Pesty from being scared. I started finding it a bit distracting and switched to just dark mode. I'll cover the windows and cracks with tinfoil, place things in front of light sources, and even make sure the room outside wherever I'm trying to sleep is suitably dark so there's no light from under the door. White Noise: I use a fan to block out all other noise. I've tried various nature sounds, ocean things, and I find them distracting. If I can focus my hearing on something (like waves), I'll focus my hearing on it and it's no good. Solid fan sound works. I think that's the most important piece. I'm also weird in the sense that I can hear my eye moving around and my heartbeat in my left ear. Drowning that out stops me from going crazy. Avoid Sleeping on Back: I find I have worse dreams when I sleep on my back and don't get as restful of a night. Side sleeping works best for me, with my left ear on the pillow. Sleeping Partner: I also am immensely comforted by having my partner in bed with me, so long as I can reach out and touch with an arm or a leg.
