Normally I'd say speak to a doctor. It sounds like delayed sleep phase syndrome and melatonin may be useful for it. Alternatively, you might want to look for a job whose hours suit you ie night shift.

Eat more fresh fruits and vegetables, get regular exercise and plenty of sleep, and drink plain water.  Lay off the stress, too.\n\nAlso, you can prop up the head of your bed on phone books.  It took a little getting used to, but I much prefer in now.

Try a relaxation exercise. With some light classical music in the background, lie down on your back and relax each and every muscle, one at a time. Start with your toes, then move to your feet, then ankls, calfs, knee, and so on. When you are done, go through the list again and make sure everything is relaxed. Then just let your mind go. You basically go into a meditation state and you get so relaxed from it, that (for me at least) you go from there straight to sleeping without even know it.

Go into a deep sleep. I think that works.

Try getting regular exercise everyday. People who exercise regularly tend to have less trouble falling and staying asleep. You should also try going to bed at the same time every night. That means no naps during the day, regardless of how little sleep you had the night before. It may take a few weeks, but it should eventually become a habit. I worked a 7a-7p shift for years and had a lot of trouble trying to fall asleep once my schedule changed. I took ambien for some time and had the same experience you're currently having. This was what worked for me, but it did take some getting used to.

Old habits die hard.  If during your student days you sleep little, then maybe your body requires little sleep now.  You can get back to your "normal" sleeping hours slowly by de-stressing yourself.  \n\nSlow stretch exercises while lying down in bed may be good for you to fall asleep.  I'm not talking about difficult yoga-type of stretch exercises - just stretching your arms over the head board slowly, then go through each part of your body from head to toe. Do small range stretching for each part.  Then inhale and exhale. As you do this you will notice that you'll be yawning.  Your muscles will relax part by part and that will get you ready to sleep.  It's a trick my friend taught me.  Sometimes it works.  The only time it doesn't work for me is when I'm worried sick about something.  Hope this helps.  I know how terrible it is when I don't get enough sleep so I can imagine your situation.

.Go to bed the same time every night\n.Read or take a warm bath before bedtime to tire you up\n.Have dinner so you're not hungry,because you can't sleep if you're hungry.But don't get too stuffed,because that can be bothersome too.\n.DON'T drink coffee or anything with caffeine at night\n.And most importantly,relax.Pretend to put all of your troubles in a bottle and keep your mind free of worry,or at least until morning.

Sometimes you can literally be too tired to fall asleep - this is kind of dangerous as it makes people really cranky and a little crazy.  I had problems with noise and sleeping and I started sleeping with a fan on in my room on low.  The fan drowned out noise from other rooms and I could turn it up higher if the noise was loud - now I sleep through outside noise and can fall asleep easier, although I'm dependent on a fan to get to sleep.\n\nAlso - Valerian is a good herbal sleep aid.  Take one about an hour before you want to go to sleep.  If that doesn't help (do it regularly for a week), then take two an hour before you go to sleep.  Generally three of them will make a person groggy when they try to get up.

At least an hour before you plan to go to bed, do something relaxing...anything...take a bath, listen to soothing tunes, read a book that is not too engrossing. That should help you to nod off. Don't rely on sleeping pills. You just have to make yourself calm down.

Take the tv out of the bedroom. Lower the lights and make it a restful environment with nothing to busy your mind. Then if that alone doesn't work try Valerian Root or if you are over 25 try 1 mg. Melatonin.
