Something that helps me is to do something physically exhausting during the day. Probably not right before bedtime though. For me it's weightlifting, that's the only exercise I've been able to stick with. If that's not your thing, try to find something else that elevates your heart rate/makes you sweat for 30 minutes or so, that might help you sleep better. Even some deep stretching/yoga can get your muscles firing and get your heart rate up.

You might also try no screens/TV/computers after dark. Keep interior lights at low levels and a warm color temperature after dark. Be intentional about doing calming, quiet things before bedtime.
