Seems like you're on the right track there with most of that, but just 5mg of coconut oil? maybe you mean 5 grams.
The most important is keeping in mind upregulation of GABA receptors and upregulation of 5-HT serotonin receptors via nutrients. But the key is the missing nutrients in the diet you need. One excellent source is older thread http://www.longecity...ly-effectively/, and what becomes increasing apparent is that absent some physiological cause for sleep issues (such as poor O2 levels, RLS, sleep hygiene), is the parallels between anxiety-depression and bad sleep. My personal opinion is that sleep issues can parallel the biological symptoms of anxiety-depression, yet without necessarily having the commensurate psychological symptoms.
Keeping that it mind, it would stand to reason the nutritional supplements used to treat anxiety and/or depression would also improve sleep. This could encompass NGF/BDNF promoting supplements, such as lion's mane, lithium orotate, uridine+dha+choline. Other nutrients which upregulate gaba receptors are ginkgo biloba in morning, and perhaps bacopa in evening. But my feeling its simplest to start with fish oil + a little b-complex containing folate. This is by no means exhaustive; this can only be had by searching the forum.
And the mindfulness mediation you already mentioned, and good exercise regimen also promote NGF.
