Autistics & Sleep: night-time wind down

Do any other autistics out there struggle to wind down for bed?

I love sleeping, I sleep well and often nap during the day, but something always seems to stop me at night. I find myself lying in bed for hours on my phone or procrastinating in some other way, and can’t break out of this stage. It always happens before I use the bathroom, and I hate brushing my teeth (though no idea why!) so maybe this is a factor? 

Maybe it’s something to do with autistic inertia? Does anyone else experience this? How do you combat it?

Thanks!
