Begrudgingly i agree, i wish it wasn't like that, but sleep is important and shouldn't be neglected.
Quality of sleep is also important and not decompressing before going to sleep will very much lower quality.
And drinking caffeine too late in the day. No caffeinated drinks should be consumed 6h up to half a day before going to bed.
Limiting caffeine only to morning has had significant impact to how deep my sleep is and over time, improved energy levels from better sleep have noticable reduced the need for coffee all together.
Also using a phone before trying to go to sleep degrades your ability and quality of sleep
I’d argue it’s a smaller effect than stress or anxiety will though. Can’t go to sleep when you’re edging a panic attack
