Day sleep: Try complete black out of slight with shade or sleep mask. A white noise generator to block out sounds and melatonin is sometimes helpful.

Sleep suggestions: Regular sleep schedule, especially time to get up. Minimize light before sleep period, including tv & computer. Don't go to bed hungry or right after a big meal. Avoid or minimize caffeine & alcohol. Exercise regularly, but not within 3-4 hrs before bed. Use relaxing pre-sleep routine (warm bath, light snack, reading). Bedroom temp at 60-68f. Learn relaxation skills. Find a sleep specialist.
