This feeling I know pretty well. Fortunately my work is pretty flex time so I don't really care and just flow with how I feel. Here's some tips in no particular order that work.
- cut sugar and caffeine down
- alcohol will also fuck with your sleeping patterns
- sleep in a DARK quiet room
- go to bed at the SAME time regardless of how you feel
- exercise regularly, hard exercise from the late afternoon will make you tired later evening
- don't watch, read, or listen, to ANYTHING stimulating later int he evening . . . like the interwebs It sets your brain off.
- maybe experiment with meditation
- Diphenhydramine works
- if after doing these things maybe experiment with melatonin supplements.
If you do all of these things and you still can't get to sleep, you need to go to a serious specialist.
