Get up earlier...: First, get up earlier (even if you don't want to). You are more likely to be tired in the evening if you didn't sleep until 2pm. Then, avoid caffeine/stimulants after lunch. Get exercise during the day. As it nears the time you would like to go to bed, turn off the tv (and phone - all texts can wait til morning), relax, read a book. Sleep in a dark room without tv/radio, etc. Take care.

Sleep hygiene.: To reset your sleep clock, go to bed at the same time every night, awaken at the same time every morning, don't nap during the day, use the bed for sleeping (not eating, TV watching, reading, etc), if you awaken during the night, stay in bed until your determined awakening time.
