I'm definitely a night owl-- my natural sleep schedule is 4 AM to 11 AM almost on the dot, and although I've been able to keep to a more normal sleep schedule when my career has required it, it's a constant effort and I get next to no sleep at least once a week. Fortunately I'm self-employed and most of my clients are in time zones several hours later than me. Apart from that I sleep very, very well. That wasn't always the case, but once I started taking melatonin an hour or so before bed, maintaining good sleep hygiene, and making it a point to watch somewhat dull TV right before bed, things improved drastically.

I've never meditated before going to bed, but my better sleep did coincide with the time I stated sleeping better. If you have any issues with anxious thoughts or the like I can certainly see it helping. One other weird trick I've used occasionally (and have since I was a kid) was thinking about the mundane lives of fictional people. This started off as kind of an offshoot of various attempts to write fiction, but I've found that slipping back into the lives of these random people I've created and thinking about how they'd deal with say having their MIL move back in during coronavirus puts me in the right mindset.
