This article has some great tips, but I wonder if they're trying to sell something... maybe a sleeping mask, I'm not sure though (/s).
I've had insomnia since I can remember. I could never take naps when I was young and still can't today, and it normally takes me 1-2 hours to fall asleep after laying down. It's currently 3 am. I've tested with tech, without tech, both are about the same, I just get less bored when reading after I can't go to sleep. I always wonder if I can't fall asleep due to my routine or my routine is the way it is because I can't fall asleep. This article makes the cause/effect relationship routine/sleep respectively, but it seems to me it can be the other way around for people with (extreme) insomnia.
Disclaimer: not a sleep expert, have just tried many tactics.
