I've noticed I do get the best sleep when I follow the recommended sleep tips most sites give. I go to bed by 1 am and always set my alarm to 9 am (usually wake up, though, around 8 to 8:30). By midnight, I enforce a zero technology rule on myself, and usually just try to read in another room in dim lighting until I get sleepy.

I used to read in bed, but I stopped doing that cause they say you should only use bed for sex and sleep so that your mind associates laying in bed with sleep. If I have trouble sleeping, I try to focus on my breathing so that I don't overthink in bed.

I used to use apps to help me sleep but most of them only worked for a few nights and then not as well. I used to use one that measured my sleep quality, and I would get a few great nights, but then I think I would get anxiety if I couldn't fall asleep, I wouldn't get a great night sleep score, and it'd screw me up.
