I’m glad to know reading a book is on the helpful list. That is my go-to method for drifting off.

It's a great method, I can tell! Besides, there's something special about getting lost in a good book, isn't there?

A good fiction book is the one that will keep me up all night. I read non-fiction as well, but I'm more likely to drift off reading a book like that.

As I comment at 10pm, I'll also add that for those that don't get outside very much, step outside periodically in the morning and throughout the day. Get sunlight in your eyes without any filter like windows or glasses. The UV rays are filtered by them and our bodies need it to wake up and start our circadian rhythm. Andrew Huberman speaks more in depth about this.

I stay inside the office all most all day, I guess I should go get some fresh air more often. Thank you for sharing, will definitely have a look at Andrew Huberman's research

Avoiding daytime naps and also sleeping early helps me a lot.

I've never written at night before 😂 Maybe you can try writing in the early morning, it really helps
