It is like a drug in a sense that you will have to put effort in withdrawal. You have successfully trained your brain to fall asleep only if you are listening to things, but by listening you’d be occupying your brain and it has to do work while at it. Removing phone from before and in bed would lead your brain to naturally shut down.
I used to do the same. Streams or long and boring YT videos to fall asleep to. My sleep was terrible and inconsistent. Once I have stopped doing this, it has improved drastically.
I am not telling you to read a book before falling asleep. Just do not do anything. Get in bed. Put your phone on charge. Turn lights off and fall asleep. It will take time to get accustomed to do it this way, but it will be worth it.
I am unable to fall asleep without watching/listening some youtube video on my phone…

My sleep is pretty bad so I will seriously consider trying this, thanks.
