I have found that, when I do succeed in forcing myself into bed at a normal time, I can “brute force” tiredness quicker by reading on my Kobo with low brightness. Honestly the part I struggle most with is actually just going to bed, there’s a strong psychological aspect to it.

As for your two points, they’re not super practical for me, at least not for a big chunk of the year. From now until about February it goes dark around 5pm, so that would effectively mean no lights, video games, movies/TV, or browsing on work days. And while weed will succeed in knocking me the hell out, it’s illegal for recreational use here, and very difficult to get a medical prescription, so it’s not something I have regular access to.
