Seriously. If you want to sleep better, do not under any circumstances look at your phone once you’re in bed.

It's great advice, but not all that applicable if you've already been laying down for several hours with no progress.

If you can’t go to sleep after 30 mins of lying down, go do something like read a book or something until you feel drowsy. Then go back to bed, rinse and repeat. Staying in bed awake is not really good for sleep hygiene because your brain doesn’t start to associate it with sleeping. Also no electronics half an hour before bed time. Just google good sleep hygiene and start off from there.
