Drop caffeine after noon, quite alcohol/cig/weed/screens anywhere close to bed time, keep evening meals small and low in carbs/sugar to avoid an insulin spike, wait at least 3 hours before hitting bed after a meal, more is better. Go to bed at roughly the same time every day, make sure your room is as dark as can be, make sure it's not warmer than 20c, exercise so that you're physically tired at the end of the day, only use your bedroom for sleep

Pretty much this. It isn't rocket science. Unfortunately, easier said than done for most people.

Yes, I've been following similar recipes and my sleep improved noticeably (after initial ~2 weeks or misery, when my body was getting accustomed to the new sleep schedule)

> make sure it's not warmer than 20c

Do you have a reference for this? 20 C is freaking cold. I wake up because of cold below 23 C.

I sleep at 16c, but I'd say it's more a personal preference. As long as you feel cool while sleeping and after waking up then you should be okay.
