I’m the same, read it’s bc of high cortisol

I get this too. I like to read fiction before bed to shut my brain down, otherwise I try to solve whatever I'm working on or something useless. This is rarely productive because I'm tired but can't sleep.

I have started avoiding blue light about 1.5 hours before I want to go to bed. This helps me get to sleep faster.

Circadian rhythms might be disrupted by the blue light from your electronics
