I've had a sleep disorder from as far back as i can remember. it take me 4-5 hours to fall asleep, if at all. I've tried polyphasic like uberman and it seems like just a meme, impossible to pull off without being a mess.
Currently i sleep every other day with a 3-4 hour nap on the nights i don't sleep. seems to be working but time will tell. being at home full time is a great opportunity to experiment with sleep routines.
what bout you?

Do more cardio
Wake up every day at 4am
Cut out blue light an hour before dark
No caffeine
Look up Dr Matthew walker follow his sleep advice
Check with your doctor about medications if you’re taking any
take the /nosleep/ pill user
Hold your breath until you fall asleep.
I try to think of anxiety inducing scenarios, and then I realize that I cannot feel pain nor disappointment in my slumber, so I have a panic induced dreamless sleep.
Cardio or lifting will help overtime
Stop taking naps, when they treat insomnia they make people stop taking naps it’s called sleep restriction
Try melotonin or L theanine, it might help but idk sometimes it helps me sometimes it doesn’t
i've tried all of that, i'll check out walker. take zero meds. i believe i suffer from 24 hour wake-sleep disorder, seems no matter what i do my internal clock keeps rotating around a few hours further each day. i can sleep just fine if i follow my internal clock and sleep rotating around the clock pushing a few hour wake time each day. If it wasn't for normal scedues i have to stick to, i wouldn't have a sleeping problem, i'd just have a continuing rotating sleep schedule

yes, i exercise daily. true about restricting sleep, why i'm currently trying the sleep every other day routine. I sleep like a baby every other day for 10 hours. the nights i don't sleep i take 3 to 4 hour nap if i'm tired
I had this problem for my entire life when I lived with my parents. My room was in the basement. I was able to wake up with alarms but I feel like death every morning after getting 3-5 hours of sleep at most. When I finally moved out, I had a huge window next to my bed and the sun woke me up every morning. After a few weeks of this, my body adjusted to the sunlight schedule and was actually tired at night and I started sleeping a lot better.
After 7-8 years, I moved back in with my parents for about two years because I took a really good job a couple miles from their house. I feel into the same problem. After that, I moved to Florida and have an even bigger window with more sunlight gracing me in the morning and now I get the best sleep of my entire life.
It’s anecdotal and might not even be remotely related to your situation it I thought I’d share in case you are a cave dweller like I was.
don’t take a nap at all even if you haven’t slept
i take that 'nap' from 3am-6am, maybe I shouldn't call it a nap. no sleep during the day
