Build a new routine: and stick to it. Don't take naps. Turn off all lights (including LEDs from phone or TV clocks). Use relaxation techniques. If you have changed to a night shift job, some people cannot shift to a day sleep schedule. Hope this helps

Agree w Dr. Lavi.: 1. Keep regular bed & wakening time (even weekends). Get up same time daily. 2. Use regular, relaxing bedtime routine: warm bath / shower, aromatherapy, reading, or listening to gentle music. 3. Sleep in dark, quiet, cool room w comfy mattress & pillows. 4. Bedroom only for sleep & sex. Put work materials, computers, & TVs in another room. 5. Finish eating at least 2-3 hrs prior to bed.
