I've been going to bed stupid early, am sober, healthy, 
don't drink caffeine for at least 6 hours before bed, clean sheets, etc everything i can think of but my eyes still shoot open every hour at night and i sleep like shit and all I want is a full night of rest 
I don't want to take any sleeping pills because drugs are bad, I'd rather find a different way first so umm if you had troubles with insomnia then how did you fix it 
I'm also a gymrat and lift 5×/week I'm not some neet who sits in a gooncave ok 
I just can't stop thinking at night or stay asleep even though I'm really tired

Are you drinking lots of caffeine before your 6 hour cutoff? The half life of caffeine is 6 hours, so if you drink 8 coffees just before you stop for 6 hours, there will still be 4 of them in your bloodstream when you go to bed.
Are you getting outside during the day while it's daylight? Have you installed one of those color filters on your PC (like f.lux for Windows) that makes your screen more red at night so the blue screen light doesn't make your body think it's morning?
Maybe keep a thermometer in your bedroom so you can see if it's getting too cold/hot to sleep.
Do you stress a lot during the day?

I usually have one coffee or tea and an energy drink in the morning, but I'm not one of those people who continues after that, its mostly so I have some energy for gym and work (because i slept terribly
)
I rarely use my computer but I put my phone on sleep mode (grayscale, no notifs or vibrations)
I do stress a lot but that's just my personality, idk if I can fix that

Since you're doing a lot of healthy stuff (eating well, exercise, interacting with people, etc.) check out some of these sleep suggestions from Dr. Huberman. I do a few of these and found them helpful (especially getting outside and getting sun in my eyes within an hour of waking)
Another thing you can try is journaling (I know that sounds gay). I used to think journaling was stupid and would never help because why write when I could just think about shit, but it has been immensely helpful for me to just get shit out of my head because otherwise it would churn non-stop. And it's just dumb stuff I think about like what I need to do for the week, work stuff, life stuff, whatever. When I write it down, I stop thinking about it. I write every morning, but if you just did that at night when you're in bed thinking, it might help.
