> This is just anecdotal without much else to say other than in people in general seem pretty skeptical about sleep hygiene. And almost seem reluctant to experiment. But I’m a firm believer.

As someone who often has difficulty getting to sleep, I have tried every sleep hygiene thing I have seen suggested but none of it works for me, at least in terms of getting to sleep, and conversely I find actually find doing special things around sleep to be counterproductive since they make me more more stressed out about getting to sleep, so I have decided to simply not worry about them.

I do think they may be helpful for people who either don't really have issues getting to sleep but simply tend to get absorbed watching tv or something and go to sleep to late or who can get to sleep easily but have sleep quality issues, though.
