Some things I found help, and will add to this list when I find more:
Exercise. However, not excessive exercise. My current weekly routine, pathetic as it surely seems to any Gymbro, is leg day: 1 chair sit, arm day: 1 wall push-up, core day: 1 half-sit-up with legs bent. Light, slow, gentle stretching on one or two days per week, also not excessive. Plus walking a lap back and forth in my place once every hour to couple of hours. In future there will be more sets and reps but not anytime soon.
Rain sounds, from whatever’s handy, be it streaming media on a TV, a phone, or in theory CDs of it
Not eating right before bed
Organizing the shit out of my schedule so I have less to worry about when I hit the hay
Finally finding a few hobbies/activities I can do that I enjoy doing or at least like a little while stuck in bed or otherwise out of energy, and doing them
Enough in-person social interaction to make monke brain do the function it is supposed to do. Usually this means at least two days per week of going outside the house and staying out of it for several hours at a time while also socially interacting. Great?
Not That Helpful In My Experience But Your Mileage May Vary:
supplements
herbs
medications
baths
earplugs and eye masks
