Recommended Fix
Sound Masking
Your biggest lever is noise. WHO guidance puts the bedroom ceiling at 30 dB(A), and most urban bedrooms sit well above that before any HVAC or street noise is added. Start with a masking device, and read the sound-type breakdown before you buy.
Your biggest lever is light. Even low levels of room light before bed measurably suppress melatonin onset. Blackout is usually the highest-leverage, lowest-cost fix on this entire list.
Your biggest lever is humidity and air quality. Bedroom relative humidity outside the 30 to 50 percent range is tied to dry airways, congestion, and disrupted sleep. This is the most overlooked variable on this list.
Your issue looks less environmental and more like a wind-down problem. Scent tools like lavender aromatherapy have modest, real evidence behind them, but they work on pre-sleep relaxation, not on a physical disruptor in the room.
Your room is likely closer to optimized than most. The lowest-risk next step is a smart-fabric or temperature layer rather than another sound or light tool, since you’ve already ruled those out.
