I need good sleep, a pillow and a blanket.

I'll look up guides on better sleep soon.
A flat pillow sound nice; I like to sleep on my back.
Sometimes I sleep on my sides, so should I get medium plump?
Regardless, a cold pillow is required.
For my blanket, I just want it large enough for my single bed, larger than my current one.

Any suggestions on getting better sleep / good bedding?

A nightly schedule you follow daily helps a ton.
Just having a set time where you know you're just gonna turn everything off and focus on nothing more than resting.
I also found that, no matter what routine I go for, taking some sort of warm shower and doing stretches right before bed has always helped me.

A lot of it can be dietary too, things like avoiding a lot of caffeine or not eating a few hours before your routine tends to help.

you can get glasses that help protect your eyes from monitors the rays actually make it harder to sleep, thats way they suggest taking a break from electronics for about 2-3 hours before going to bed. You can actually get those glasses at Staples.

Magnesium Threonate + 2g of Glycine. You should already be taking quality magnesium supplements for all sorts of reasons. Adding the Glycine at night with the mag does wonders for my sleep. Both supplements can be found for less than 20 total on Amazon.

If you wear sunglasses, try not to wear them in the morning. Try to deliberately go outside in the sun without sunglasses. I'm not saying look at the sun obviously.

Speaking of sun, get as much sunlight as you can. In the winter, tan if you have to, just don't burn. And add 5000 iu of Vitamin D3 supplements as well.

Don't eat lots of food before bed. 2-3 hours before bed you should start fasting.

Make sure your room is as cold as you can stand it while you're sleeping. Use a white noise machine or earplugs to block out noise.

As others have mentioned here, try to stay off screens 1-2 hours before bed. This is important.

Also mentioned above was caffeine intake. You shouldn't drink caffeine within 8 hours before bed time. So if you wanna go to sleep at 10pm, don't drink coffee after 2 pm for example. Some people need even more time to get it out of there system, up to 12 hours.

Lastly, if you are overweight, that's going to affect your sleep bigtime, in more than one way. Get in shape. Simply not having the extra weight will create physiologic and physical changes that will be a huge help. Adding in resistance training, which you should also be doing, helps you sleep because you'll be tired at night, and your metabolic health willl be better overall.

Try the Bud Winter sleeping technique (google it). Essentially go through your entire body relaxing each muscle (the face and eyes are the most difficult) and after that try to clear your mind of all thought for 10 seconds.
