No caffeine after 2pm here, exercise 3 times a week and 2x daily dog walks. No phone or devices after 9pm, bed at 11:30 and out of bed at 8:15 7 days a week (thanks dog). I still go through multi week long stints of lack of sleep, grogginess, general unpleasantness in the mornings until 12-12:30.

Generalizing that everyone has terrible habits is ridiculous, it's the equivalent of telling someone who is suffering from depression they just need to exercise to feel better, or someone who is obese to just "eat less"

I'm not telling anybody anything. I'm saying a lot of people with bad sleep, including most of the ones I've met, have terrible sleep habits. Just like a lot of people are fat because they have bad diets. If you're unable to walk or have some metabolism issue, that can make it really hard to stay slim. For you, perhaps you have an undiagnosed sleep issue (in which case seeing a sleep doctor would be helpful); but your experience does nothing to change the fact that other people have poor sleep for no reason but their poor choices.
