Shit! Something clicked just now. I’ve been having trouble sleeping for the better part of a year and thinking back it lines up with an infection. I’ve tried everything from quitting coffee to banned screens during an evening routine to working out at different times to tire myself out. Nothing helped.
Have you seen a sleep doctor? Ive never had COVID and started having trouble sleeping a year ago. TL;DR I have sleep apnea at 34 years old, have a CPAP now.
Overhead (from ceiling) or lamps/more or less “eye level”?
Even if they’re warm they might be too bright, especially if they’re overhead. You might want to look into Hues, you can so red or amber or truly warm colors at adjustible brightness and automatically have them set to dimmer at the right time
Personal suggestion if you do Hues is set to pure red at around 8/9pm and to a dimmer level

Maybe this is the problem.
Doubt it. There are a billion reasons why you might not be sleeping as well. Getting older is a a big part of it.

I haven’t, no. I absolutely should, especially given that the problem might be clinical instead of psychological.
What do you do for lighting in the evening? Morning?
I take my dogs out for a walk in the early sun, and at night I like warm LED lighting, just one or two sources.
