No phone use in bed.
Might not help with the getting into bed part, but it's cognitive behavioral therapy to associate bed with sleep.
Me who is literally bedridden and hasn’t had the physical capacity to leave my bed in two years:

Ehh...that doesn't necessarily pan out either. If I have no stimulation at all, my mind can swirl to 10001 different thoughts. What often works for me, personally, is to put on a YouTube video on my phone to help fall asleep. The trick is you want to find a long, relatively boring and not engaging one to sort of lull you to sleep. Make the mistake of putting on something too interesting and you're fucked.
That's me, anyway. I don't always need thought distractions to sleep but often I do.
I find podcasts are even better, you can listen to them with your eyes closed.
