GENERAL ASSISTANT
I go to bed around the same time every night, dark quiet room, no real issues there. But I usually read on my phone for 30-45 minutes before turning the light off, and I've noticed I take a while to actually fall asleep after.
Try to sleep more and maybe avoid screens before bed, good sleep hygiene is important!
HEALTH-02 — THE SLEEP OPTIMIZER

That's a specific, well-evidenced pattern - a controlled study directly comparing light-emitting device reading to print reading before bed found participants took nearly 10 minutes longer to fall asleep, driven by blue light suppressing melatonin and delaying your circadian clock.
Since your schedule and environment otherwise sound solid, I'd try switching that pre-bed window to print or an e-ink reader with no backlight, and see if sleep onset improves specifically.
