I haven't slept well these past few weeks
I wonder what will help me sleep better? 
Obviously I'll tape my mouth shut every night 
Jump in the discussion.

It works. But only if you suffer from sleep apnea. Taping your mouth forces you to breath through nose. Ensuring you get enough oxygen during sleep. It is legitimate treatment for sleep apnea.
But its not done like that. What you do is take small pice of tape. And put it on. Connecting upperlip and lowerlip. All you need to do is prevent mouth from oppening during night. Piece smaller then your little finger is enough for that.

I workout 3 days a week but those 3 days end up being my least productive days because of how tired I am afterwards.
maybe I should start working out before bed instead of shortly after I get up.

I used to do this during college. Working out then doing some stretches afterwards was super comfy and made me really sleepy
Just make sure to not train too hard, I distinctively remember some days I went too ham on leg day and the cortisol kept me awake

Could be part of it. Although I was cursed with Ashkenazi genes and their related autoimmune disorders.
So I'm missing my entire large intestine now which probably means I'm not absorbing everything from food. Although for sleep it's totally because I use my phone in bed. Like I did to make that comment at like 6am before going to sleep lol.

Large intestine is mostly for water absorption. Maybe you're just chronically dehydrated?

I like to workout after work and before dinner. I've tried early morning workouts but I'm always too tired to go hard at that point in the day. Maybe give it a try. If you take preworkout, timing is going to be important so the caffeine doesn't affect your sleep.

Mantra Sleepmask is great. I've gotten several overnight worker friends hooked on it. Blocks out light and you can't feel it on your eyes. Or just any cheaper Sleepmask with cups.
Mouth taping I have been trying for a week. I like it, though it's not as secure with beard hair.
Though the biggest thing is less screentime closer to bed. Your phone should also have a built in blue light filter you can schedule, I even have it go black and white close to bedtime to make doomscrolling more boring.
Meditation is also important as an all around helper.
Melatonin works if you let it but eh, I don't like meds. It will make you sleepy quick, but you can't try to fight it or it will do nothing.

This looks stupid, but then I've been sleeping with earplugs lately and I feel like they unironically make me sleep better by cutting out all sorts of background noise and making me feel almost as if I'm underwater or something.
Maybe I should start taping my mouth too.

It depends how loud the hotel is, I'm a pretty bad sleeper. I use a white noise app, some hotels kick you off WiFi every few hours and it can get expensive if I'm roaming [on a long YouTube video].

You don't need an internet connection to generate white noise, what kind of shit app are you using? You could generate it realtime on CPUs 20 years in the past.

Is it not completely wild to everyone here that memes from Incel and PUA spheres like "-maxxing" and "It's over" and the now classic "Chad/Stacy/Virgin" expressions became mainstream?

I know zoomer women that use 'cel slang without know where it comes from and those that do love the irony element. 'cels are one of the engines of Gen Z culture, even gen z men that aren't actually incels or don't identify with it's precepts often still understand the sentiments.

No, I'm a citizen of the global south, and on behalf of everyone here, frick America. We all support China here, because they help us economically, not invade our homes and kill our children.
Just because I'm a leftist doesn't mean everything the media tells you is true. There are literally wikileaks documents and youtube videos debunking the massacre of Tiananmen Square, and the US embassy in Beijing itself admitted there was no massacre, and everyone trying to prove this in the media gets killed by the CIA.
