Ok, now on a serious note, I have observed that for me, there are 3 factors to observe closely.
1) bed quality. I am sure you have temperature, cleanliness and humidity covered, but it still might be worth some experimenting.
2) constant energy management. I must monitor to get enough activity during the day. Not even physical one, but there have to be some high-intensity events, no matter if mental or physical.
3) Constant wakeup. It's easier to survive one day on 5h of sleep then to go sleep 3 hours earlier the next one. Just make sure to never oversleep too much.
4) Stress
As if it wasn't killing you in 20 other ways already :D
5) You absolutely have to keep the phone on the other side of the room. Anything closer, and you might have the idea to take a peak.
Good luck.
And this is obviously the exact same experience I had with shrinks as well.

"what do you like to do to rest and restore energy?"
"well idk, i like videogames"
"oh, me too! i play The Sims when I am not busy looking after my kid :)"

A health doctor had almost shouted at me, when I mentioned that I am trying to lose weight.
And then, she literally tried the shaming: Are you just trying to look good, or are you losing weight to actually be healthy?
She didn't even ask me, if I was successful, since she assumed, that I couldn't be based on only "street dieting advice".
@LukeAlmighty the problem with chronic anxiety that even if the conditions are ✨perfect✨, a sudden jolt of the most random panic WILL wake you up in cold sweat and the night is ruined
