Sleep hygiene : Google sleep hygiene and follow those recommendations. Your sleep cycle is shifted. No caffeine after noon. Exercise as able. Blue blocker sunglasses to block out ambient light and light from computers, tv screens, iphones. May take otc melatonin if your doctor agrees, 2 hours before desired sleep time. If this fails see sleep doc for delayed phase sleep schedule.
