I try not to do mentally challenging things the last two hours or so before I go to bed. Otherwise my brain won't stop working and I'll never fall asleep. Further, what helps me a lot is just plain old reading a book. I use an ereader (or my oled-phone, no problem with the blue light apparantly) and I read fiction (currently Stephen King's The Institute, which is a fantastic one).

Also, since I try to lose some weight, I do more excercises; every evening I go out for a walk of approx 30-45 minutes, together with my wife. Very relaxing and I sleep better since I started doing it. And lost 6kg :)

I suppose I wouldn't be able to sleep well after reading Stephen King's books :D
