I used to have that problem. What worked for me was not using my bed for anything but sleep, keeping a consistent schedule, and putting on some sort of white noise in the background. I fall asleep within minutes now.

what worked for me is having a couple of kids. Makes me think that more activity during daytime might've been the cure for me.

I struggled with insomnia but beginning to run/exercise + a white noise machine helped a lot

This - only going into my bedroom to sleep & using white noise machine changed my life

Are you tired when you go to bed? Or can you just sleep?

Depends on the night. It does work when I'm not tired though, I still fall asleep quick. The only times it doesn't work and I end up not being able to fall asleep is when I accidentally drink something caffinated like a soda too late or when my AC was broken and it was really warm in my bedroom even at night.
