Melatonin: Your internal clock is out of synch with the environment. Help your body reset your internal clock through sunlight and melatonin. Expose yourself to sunlight early morning and late afternoon. The subtle changes in the sunlight reset your clock. Additionally, take melatonin 20 min prior to bedtime. If you are still having trouble, consult your doctor for other treatments.

Great recommendation: By dr. Kohl. Here is some more info. Sleep in a dark, quiet, cool room on comfortable mattress & pillows. Finish eating at least 2-3 hours prior to your regular bedtime. .No caffeine within 6 hours; alcohol & smoking within 2 hrs of bedtime. . Exercise regularly; finish a few hours before bedtime. Consider chamomile tea before bed. Warm milk. Lavender oil in bath or lavender scent on pillow.
