Yeah sometimes you have to wear them out before dinner.... if you see he has tons of energy before dinner but on some YouTube sing along videos and yall sing dance and wiggle for 15-20 min give him a bath then feed him dinner. Dim the lights and read a story and that should be a she wrote...
Just lock yourself and him in his room, keep the lights off like you have been, and take away anything he can play with or get distracted with. Including your phone. Let him run around and roll and do what he does to burn off energy, but don't engage with him. Ignore him or just look at him without speaking if he tries to interact with you. Eventually he'll just get bored and put himself to sleep.
It might also help to keep your phone off during this, even if you're bored. It might excite him.
When do you turn off computers and TVs before bed time? I find my boys sleep better if we've shut down the house and just play with toys at least an hour before bed time. The light from screens is very stimulating and prevents your brain from producing as much melatonin.
I shut the lights off on my three year old an ten month olds party an that helps
My girls room is safety proofed to the max so I put them to bed put on cartoons and close the door
