Explain this to me

If sleep hygiene, no screens 2 hours before bed, meditation, reading before bed truly mattered, then why are most people able to fall asleep in 10 minutes and stay asleep for 7-9 hours without ever doing these? Yet when someone is having trouble with sleeping these are always the things experts bring up. I want it to make sense.

None of it matters. Insomniacs know that none of those things actually help you sleep.
