Answer: Take care of yourself.

Disordered sleeping can be a sign of other issues that might need addressing and nothing other than addressing the underlying issue can fix it. What's the point of avoiding blue light and exercising if you have sleep apnea and still can't feel rested? All of this advice on how to achieve better sleep assumes that you're already healthy enough to get the sleep you need.

Depression, PTSD, sleep apnea, anxiety, etc, can all contribute to an inability to get truly restful sleep. Be kind to yourselves, take care of yourselves, and get help if you need it.
