I've slept like dogshit since as long as I can remember.

Do you follow good sleep hygiene?

I've slept like shit since I was a kid. I wouldn't say that I am the most rested person on earth now, but I see improvement.
What solved it for me is:
>Good sleep hygiene
Going to bed always at the same time. Turning off any screen before bed. Turning off the blinds. Having an established routine before bed (can be reading a book, doing skincare or whatever). Eating at least 3 hours before bed. Taking a good shower before bed, use clean sheets.

>Healthy lifestyle
Eating well. Working out daily. No alcohol or drugs.

>Ambien
Ambien turned my life around. It makes me a little crazy sporadically, but I went from sleeping less than 4 hours and waking up many times during the night to sleeping 7 hours straight.

What screws up the sleep of 99% of the people who complain about bad sleep is technology. Don't mess with bright screens like your phone's or your computer's (not even your TV's) before going to sleep. And by that I mean like one hour before going to sleep you should stay away from these bright screens.

Doing this alone would cure you but it is very difficult. Try replacing that with a healthy habit such as reading. When reading, go for lighting that is too bright, but also not bad enough to damage your eyes, just about dark enough to make you feel tired.

Sleep at the same time every day. Drink tea that aids your sleep if you like tea.

Exercise a lot. This is another big one. Exercising gives you much better sleep and it also gives you all the healthy benefits of exercising. If you go for a martial art it's even more effective since they train your mind.

I find that reading a book before bed makes me sleepy. I keep at it until I feel that I may be able to fall asleep. If I still cannot sleep, I turn on the lights and repeat.
