Lately I've been watching videos from twoodfrd on youtube. Guitar luthiery. Gets me napping like no other. Found another that seems promising "Machinery Restorer". Turn on subtitles if you need to be quiet.

I meditate. Very occasionally, I still am not ready to sleep, but it still helps me to do that.
I listen to a podcast, if nothing else works.
Mostly, I don't worry about not sleeping. It took me years to feel OK with not sleeping, but here I am.
Peace.
Ambien.
Throw on an eye mask and headphones and turn on an audiobook.
Call it quits and get started on work, play a video game, run or workout.

Lay still in bed with the lights off and my eyes closed. If the reason why I can't sleep is noise, I'll put in an ear plug. (Only one, because my other ear is on the pillow and blocks everything out.) Otherwise, I just... you know... try to sleep?
I put the phone down as the light coming from it is part of the reason your brain is staying awake.
headphones?
If I can't sleep I get out of bed and play video games until I fall asleep. Sometimes that means a full night of gaming but most of the time I get tired after an hour or so.
I put on a Playlist of DCAU animated series. Batman: The Animated Series through Justice League Unlimited. I've seen them all a million times and it's something that lets my ADHD brain rest. You'd be surprised st how much of those shows are orchestral soundtrack withiut dialog.
