CBT and melatonin : The best thing would be to see a sleep psychologist. Call your local sleep lab and they can refer you. You should explore what behaviors got you there in the first place. Being on the internet late at night is most common. It resets your biological clock to make you think it is still light out and therefore not time to sleep. What have just called a circadian rhythm sleep disorder delayed phase type in case you want to look it up on the internet sometime before 8 pm. I then recommend to my patients that they take melatonin two hours before their desired time. The dose is 3 to 6 mg at bedtime. I also recommend that they set the alarm clock to get up one half hour earlier every day through this process until your clock is reset.
