To add to the list of sensors: I was most curious in CO2 levels, so I got an Aranet4: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07YY7BH2W/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_glt_...
It’s got an eink screen, and I haven’t had to recharge it since I got it 8 months ago. I really like it.
We use these at office in conference rooms or 1:1 rooms, and encourage people to keep CO2 levels below 700-800. Very high quality, a half dozen all agree perfectly on all sensors. They support API.

Thank you for sharing! Skimmed for now, but saving this to read later.
I've had a history as well of never getting good sleep so I'm curious to see what your experience was and the steps you've taken. A few things I've done that have helped a bunch:
- Using BreatheRight nasal strips every night
- Latex earplugs ("Mack's Pillow Soft Silicone Earplugs"). I could never sleep with foam earplugs in my ears but these are great
- Sleeping with a noise machine
- Getting a basic alarm clock so I can leave my phone outside the room
- Getting a c02 monitor
A ctrl+f on the page didn't show any c02 mentions, so I'll just say it's something I think is worth looking into for anyone having sleep trouble. My understanding from when I was looking at one to buy was there were different kind of sensors and the ones in the cheaper monitors were unreliable. I ended up getting this one [1] for $250 with the intention of returning it after getting a sense of where the levels would get to but ended up keeping it. For anyone who thinks it's at all possible to be a factor for them, I recommend getting that monitor with the plan being to just return it if you don't see anything surprising.

When I did the research: Aranet4
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07YY7BH2W
I bought one for myself, fine, then two for my siblings. The two I bought them always measured about 100 apart, when right beside each other.
To say – use the measurements as a comparison of what you know.
