cannot confirm, there has never been a time in my life when I was able to fall asleep easily when I should, not in my childhood, not teenage years, nor more recently :(
44 and I get 7+ hours almost every night using very few accessories (memory foam mattress and pillow) as well as few doobies before bed. Chef's kiss
Me: in my 50s. Latex mattress and lovely pillow, and I get 6 hours of shite sleep if I'm lucky. Mostly it's a few hours of sleep, an hour or so of being awake, a few more hours of tossing and turning in semi sleep.
(Though I do probably have some form of undiagnosed ADHD. My brain refuses to turn off)
My wife: same mattress with slightly different pillows. 9 hours of snoring like a dragon sleep easily...and I then have to wake her a few times in the morning or she'd sleep until noon.
It's just the hand I was dealt.
I have the brain not turning off thing. Listening to something makes it much easier to fall asleep. Youtube videos, rain sounds or one of my favorites: hair dryer youtube vidoes. I got a 10h one downloaded on my phone. Might annoy the wife tho if she ain't cool. Ya dig?

I just want a pillow that doesn't put pressure on my ear, but also isn't stupidly soft to the point it doesn't support my neck. The Simba hybrid pillow was good for the first few months, but now just scrunches up against the headboard when I'm sleeping and I wake up with my neck at what feels like a 45° angle..
I got one of those pillows with a chunk in the middle hollowed out and it helps a lot if you have trouble squishing your ears. Mine’s a memory foam type with a rectangle cut out. A lot of them are mini (for newly pierced ears) so make sure it’s a regular sized pillow.
Idk man, I'm 35 and I just go to bed
At this point I'm considering a colostomy bag so I don't have to go to the bathroom 5 times during the night

a warm noise machine, best investment i ever did.
I’m 39 and I need standard bed setup, or a couch with the tv blaring.
I'm 36 and I wear a CPAP because my body tries to stop breathing otherwise.
35 and just moved to the futon, actually 2 futons, because I couldn't get used to just the 1. I'm hoping I can get used to it, and move back to 1.
A cooling blanket helped me out a lot!
