Couple things I've tried and never looked back on:

I quit caffeine and sleep so much better now.

Got a 144hz g-sync monitor, wondered where it had been all my life. Spent 15 minutes opening and closing the start menu and moving the mouse cursor around it was so beautiful.

Now paying for house cleaners twice a month, the extra time and reduced stress are well worth the money.

How did you quit caffeine? I've tried for years now but no luck. I quit for a few months only to come back. It's no mild addiction as I used to think. I suspect that if it was illegal it would be as profitable as any other illegal drug. I advise everyone I can to not get started with it.

I drink 2-4 cups of tea a day but don’t (think) I have trouble sleeping. I fall asleep easily and generally sleep soundly (unless the kids wake me up).

Previous to quitting caffeine did you think you were sleeping well or did you think you had trouble?

I quit for a year. Being super gradual is key.

I started measuring my coffee grinds during preparation to the half teaspoon and each two weeks I went down half a teaspoon. I filled in the rest with decaf.

Now, even a better technology, Freesync has come. With its conjunction, the battery, graphic card and the monitor are relieved from stressing to their maximum.
