Not the person you're replying to, but I am someone who actively is trying to get more sleep due to problems with high blood pressure.

Good sleep comes with good habits.

No liquid consumption near bedtime. Caffeine intake reduction and cutoff at least 6 hours before bedtime. Having a wind down routine instead of waiting on my body to tell me to sleep. (Use phone in bed instead of a computer mainly)

I was averaging less than 6 hours of sleep a night. Nodding off at work was common, and I would compensate with caffeine.

I still don't feel energetic, but I'm less tired now, and looking to increase my nightly sleep to 7.5 hours. It just sucks sometimes to get home at 7 PM and try to sleep at 10 PM.
