I remember ages ago hearing/reading that after about 15 -20 mins of not being able to fall asleep, it actually becomes detrimental to keep trying and they recommended doing exactly what you do.

A quiet activity that requires no to little light. That is not stimulating, washing dishes was a specific activity that stuck out in my mind. Folding laundry, wiping down counters, brushing your teeth again is another one I've read that some people have success with. (Or some other bed routine step)

And btw 'your' blue light filter is NOT enough. idk why I get almost offended at the people who brush off light sleep disruption like the built in tint is enough.
