On iOS you can set a bedtime with a flexible wind down reminder. I’m reminded an hour before bedtime that wind down is starting and I’ll know that if I want a good nights sleep I should start my evening routine. Which includes brushing teeth and stuff.

It doesn’t always work but most of the time I’m in bed at least close to schedule.

Helped me tremendously since activating it a few years ago.

Edit: Just read OPs comment, making up for lost sleep later, like on the weekend, doesn’t work afaik.

Doesn't work for you, or in general?

They say you can't repay sleep debt by sleeping in on another day, that it does not repair the damage you've done to your body by not giving it enough rest.

It feels good to do it though so I still do.
