If your sleeping 7 plus hours a night and still feeling knackered it’s worth talking to a doctor and having some tests done, there’s loads of reasons for feeling tired all the time.
In terms of improving sleep having a consistent sleep and wake time is super important and having a wind down routine is helpful.
If you struggle to get to sleep a good technique is to get up after 15-20 minutes (not timing but when it feels like you’ve been trying to sleep that long) and do something with a low thinking requirement like reading a book or watching bad TV.
7 hours isn’t actually that many hours of sleep. It’s like the minimum recommended. I’d still recommend most people to aim for more than that if possible. It also depends on your lifestyle, like if you workout often you should probably sleep more for recovery reasons.
