My sleep is really shitty lately so I need some advice to sleep faster. I am considering not being on the phone later at 9:00

What is the exact problem you are trying to solve?

Like do you have to get up at a certain time and find yourself staying up too late so getting little sleep? Or is it something else, like you can get up kind of whenever but the sleep isn't refreshing?

I have to wake up at 6 am so I can do chores so i don't have to them in the afternoon. Why? Because I usually game in the afternoon so I might as well do them early.

Sounds like a reasonable plan and since you want a stricter schedule that makes it a bit easier. I've got a few more questions:

What is your caffeine intake in a given day? And when is the latest you consume it?
Do you work out regularly? If so what and how often?
How's your diet?
Other than the phone after 9 anything else you typically do around bed time?

I'm assuming you are looking to be asleep by 10 or 11 to get 7-8 hours of sleep a night. I'm on a similar schedule. Usually I'll quit gaming at 8 pm on Sundays to be sure I am winding down by 10ish. I also try to only have coffee in the mornings most days as it'll stick with you later than most people think.

A cup of coffee. Latest is at 1 pm
No but I do go outside at 3:45
Not good. MOstly canned food with the occasionally veggies
Not much

Might be worth having your last a bit earlier. I've found that a cup at noon makes a difference for me falling asleep so most days I stick to just the one at 6ish when I wake up
If possible throw in some exercising, it'll help with tiring you out even if it isn't super intense. Plus it is good for overall health
Again here, if possible get a bit better options in. Canned food isn't inherently bad but it can be overly salty at times. I get that there could be economic reasons that make this one harder to accomplish so do what you can but don't overburden yourself
That's good, means you don't likely have to change much there. It could help to set a routine to make stopping with the phone easier. Like adding a 30 min reading session before bed or some meditation, or yoga if that is your thing. Essentially some routine to train yourself and your body that it is time to sleep

All this might sound like a lot but you don't have to be perfect on day one and have to find a thing that works for you

My exercise is mostly walking and running around
Poverty
I do have pen and paper. Mostly for remembering things.

For the exercise if you can add a bit more it could help with getting tired when you want to sleep.

Yea like I said I understand the diet one might not be possible to change much with that.

I suppose pen and paper could be part of a winding down routine. Maybe spend a bit of time before bed writing down anything on your to do list or on your mind. It might help with falling asleep easier
