over an hour to fall asleep

I see two options here. First, go to bed when you're tired. If you'd like that to happen at a particular time, make yourself tired enough earlier so sleep happens when you get in bed.

An alternative might be to use that hour+ to do mental exercises, planning out your empire, or reviewing and strengthening memories.

I'd favor the 'progressive relaxation' technique, but look through the search results for whatever appeals to you. Trying to fall asleep for over an hour sounds pretty awful.

Thanks for the advice, usually using up all of my energy helps with it, like long walks, cycling and such, it is harder to do in winter due to well winter being winter, but I am going to try to read a book for an hour before bed so no screen time prior sleep. I've had this issue for all I can remember really, probably ever since I started using the computer, it is how it is I guess.

Usually takes me 1 - 2 minutes to fall asleep, but I don't go to bed until I'm already falling asleep, or it's really late. Usually both.

Your plan for no screen time close to bedtime sounds good. Just don't pick a page-turner you can't put down.
