Does this sound like the set of challenges you might be facing?

• I’m wired at bedtime and lie there unable to drop off, and I keep my whole house lit up bright right until I climb into bed
• I have every light in the house blazing right up until I climb into bed, and then I lie there wide awake wondering why my body hasn’t gotten the message that it’s nighttime.
• I sit under bright overhead lights and screens right up until I crawl into bed, and then I’m surprised I don’t feel sleepy
• I fuss with night mode on my phone but my whole place is lit up like noon right until I climb into bed
• It’s not the brightness that gets me
