Things that empirically work for me to sleep better:

Mandatory:

- separate duvets for me & my partner, so we don't wake each other up by turning

- no screentime for ~1 hr before falling asleep

- going to bed and read a book for that ~1 hr. When I get sleepy I sleep

- bedroom as dark as possible

- physical activity of any kind

Less important:

- no caffeine in the ~8 hrs before falling asleep

- glass of warm milk before going to bed

How does dark room, reading in bed, and sleeping when you are tired go together with a partner?

Does the first person to get tired sleep with the room lit enough for the other to keep reading?

This only works if you're reading on a backlit device like a phone or ebook reader
