I am skeptical those simple fixes work, if only because I do both but waking up is a hassle every morning. And so I’m convinced that a complex scheme, (probably not the ones the people you’ve spoken with though) is the only way. But also, I suspect that the kind of complex schemes that do work have other benefits in other aspects of ones life. or to put it another way....
It is worth changing everything about your life to get better sleep if necessary IME.
Yes, hard agree. I don’t think eating at the same time and getting 5 minutes of sunlight will work. But the things that do work to improve quality of sleep probably overlap with “better quality of life in general”
Can you hypothesize why it hasn’t worked for me and why it’s worked for you? Or to put it another way, what conditions do you suspect are needed for the regular time of eating and sunlight tactics work?
I’m not sure. It’s a matter of hormonal regulation and unlike the pop sci take on hormones, they are very multi-function molecules within the body that are affected by a lot of things. For instance, though I sleep on a good schedule now, I still wake up more often than average, and I suspect this is due to a vasopressin deficiency or some other malfunction due to having mild forms of 9 out the 11 symptoms of such. No idea why.

They did work for me. Durably enough that I don’t have to maintain them strictly. And that was after trying many other schemes.
