Personally, using flux is easy on my eyes and also helps me sleep.
Try to get sun during the day and exercise. When you sleep, make sure your room is as devoid of light as possible and obviously make sure you're comfortable. Don't take caffeine for at least 5 hours before bedtime. Also don't drink alcohol--that stuff won't help you in the long run. That's all I got >_< good luck yo. |

Improve your sleep hygene.
That means, your bedroom is your sleep sanctuary. It should be only for sleeping, not for watching the telly or being on the computer until late. You should set a time in which you must go to bed, turn off all electronic devices and lights, and just lie down and sleep. Don't eat at least 2 hours before going to sleep, don't exercise at least 2 hours prior to going to bed either, just be relaxed and with the help of the dark, quiet, peaceful environment of your bedroom, you should be able to sleep.
A big percentage of sleep disorders involve some problem with sleep hygene. Start on that and see how you fare.
If that doesn't work out, pay a visit to your doctor.
Trust me, I'm a doctor. Last edit: 2012-08-21 13:24:42 |

That's also some good advice yo, your environment is really important. Creating a regular cycle is also very important.
And trust him, he's a damn good doctor at that. |

Yeah, click on the underlined flux link in my post, the nicer light spectrum might help you feel more sleepy :X
If it really comes down to it, you might want to try the "don't eat anything 16 hours before the time you want to wake up" method. Basically there's the circadian clock of your body--body feels sleepy or awake depending on the light it gets. There's another clock however, for food. If you don't eat anything for a while, your body supposedly will be more prone to waking up because it will sense the hunger and need for food. I don't recommend melatonin, but if you need it, maybe try it one day to see if it can move your sleep cycle enough. |

Maybe it's a sign that you need a better mattress. |

Umbra's advice sounds really good.
I'm in a similar situation, except for the fact that I don't play very much and I'm not very good, so it would be pointless to do so anyway. I've always been something of a nighthawk myself, however, and seem to not be able to sleep until ~3-5AM. I'd like to take Umbra's advice, but I don't have the luxury of separating my bedroom from my technology. There isn't anywhere else for it. I've never really been into reading books, either.
I'd like to know a little more if possible about this "sleep hygiene" aside from reducing lighting and eliminating distractions (of which light is the least of my concerns). What else can be done to improve the "sleep hygiene" of my sleeping environment? Should I shower right before bed? Should my dog sleep in the hallway or be kept out of my room altogether? Should I shake my addiction for milk and cookies? |

Ah I see 
Oh basically, let's say you want to wake up at 10 am. In that case, the last meal you want to have should be 16 hours before that, so at 6 pm. Again I'm not quite sure whether this works because I'm lucky enough not to have to try it, but it's apparently a pretty good way to adjust for jetlag actually |

| It's probably pretty individual, though most of the things Umbra wrote should be applicable. Personally though, I sleep MUCH better if I eat before going to bed, sleeping on an empty stomach is more or less impossible for me since instead of actually getting tired, I'm constantly thinking about food and how hungry I am. |
