Doesn't have to be anything major, I just put a bunch of pillows up so I have a sort of makeshift couch. Just so your sleep area is a little different from the rest of your area. Little routines help, too. I've found stuff like always wearing PJ's instead of going to sleep in my regular clothes helps. Also try to maintain as much consistency in times as you can - I know this one's hard, but it helps a lot. White noise sometimes helps too, as college dorms are rarely quiet. There are short relaxation exercises that you can do, too - you might want to look that up. Some things I’ve found work:
