What bedtime routine helps you sleep? (self.adhd)

It's no secret that people with adhd often have sleep issues. I certainly do. I'm curious what bedtime routine helps others sleep. My partner likes to read a boring book before bed, but I struggle to read books unless they are engaging. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated :)

I lie to myself by saying, "I can stay awake for one more episode" before eventually falling asleep on the couch sometime in the next 10 minutes. Then, approximately 3-4 hours later, I'll wake up, take my evening medications, brush my teeth, prepare for and then go to bed so I can lay there awake for the next hour or two trying to fall back asleep. Eventually, I'll dose off and get a few more hours of sleep, although never achieving the quality or depth of sleep I obtain while passed out on the couch.
